will they fit
Im lookin at gettin some wheels, and im not about to do the 5 lug conversion although i would love too, i just dont have enough money. So i found these wheels, G-Racing Sekis so far i dont know too much about em, besides i love they way they look and the color. I havent found a reliable site that has wheels for the 240s and all the info about the wheels. I think they have a +40mm offset, i dunno if thats too big or not. Just let me know so i dont get the wrong offset and screw myself. If they come in the right bolt pattern, could i just get a wheel spacer and make that offset work?

offsets are not too BIG/SMALL, they are too HIGH/LOW, but offsets can never be too low.
if you have money to buy rims, you have money to buy a 5lug conversion. you should avoid adapters as much as possible, hence why 5lug should be done, so then you can order any offset you like.
5zigen has their new FN out that are 17x9 +20 4lug, or email autornd for their "TE style rims that come in 16x8 +10/20
a site will never have wheels FOR 240s. there is so such wheel that is made JUST for 240s.
will they fit? yes.
will it be sunken? yes.
does sunken look, look stupid? hell yes.
good decision to buy? no.

+40 offset is made for front wheel drive cars. It will be sunk in and i don't think it will clear your brake calipers. Try to get +35 or lower. Have you tried reading the offset sticky? It might help you a bit. Good luck. How much are you willing to spend? I might be able to help you find wheels

Ive got around 800 to spend on wheels and tires. Personally id rather save the money and go with the 5 lug conversion and put some 300zx breaks on the front and 240 breaks on the rear, then just find a set of TT wheels. The reason i cant is because of my dad who is convinced i will sell this car before i go to college, which im not doing. Do you guys know a site that offers a complete 5lug swap and can give me some numbers or do i have to go to an O.E.M. site and price it all out?
