300zx conversion offset difference?(s13)
hello, me and some friends are about to convert over to 5 lug with the brake swap. My question is does it change the offset? and will it be harder to find wheels? should i just be searching for 240sx rims and ask for 5 lug? or shop for 300zx rims? or just do a brake swap without swapping hubs? i don't want to spend months searching for rim+tires, But i think it would be beneficial to have the 5 lug.i did a search of 300zx in the tire section but i didn't find anything.

you will have to shop for wheels with a higher disk, that is, with more brake clearance. But that has nothing to do with the offset, and only concerns the actual spoke design. So yes, your wheel choice will be more limited with z brakes

Ok i decided to go with the 4 lug conversion because i dont need anything real fancy or anything. i was looking at a pair of ROTA D2s' i like the price and i like the look i was thinking about getting the +35 offset they look like they would clear. http://www.rotawheels.com/d2.php
thats the URL do u think there is a better offset to get? im not sure how offsets work either. i want to have a flush look and will roll if i have to. i was thinking 17X7.5 or the 17X8.5. or would the 18's looking better on a 240sx i figured they would be to big. What is the opinions of the wheel gurus also what tires should i get? not brand but like sizes...
thanks in advance.

those p45rs do look nice. +25 offset would put them flush with the body? i have a black 240sx an i was thinking about getting the bronze ones. and they only come in 18s anyone think those are to big for a 240sx? i went on the rota site and i didnt see a +25 offset just a +30.
