i dont really know jack about wheels/offset/etc.

im getting my 240 back and im going with the FN01R-C's. now...i wanna run 17x10 in the back and 17x9 in the front. i know i gotta get it pulled and rolled and whatever, that doesnt bother me. i want deepest dish possible in the rear and one step out in the front. rears are available in +15, +25, +35. im thinking going with the 25's and then 25's up front. or possibly 15 in the rear and 25 in the front. tell me what you think. i want it to look bada$$.

i think you should get what you think looks good and not what others tell you looks good. i have some +35 17x7 all around and they look good to me. they are flush and not sunken in or sticking out, that's just the way i like it. why do you want 10" wheels though?

oh no, i really like they way they look. im just wondering which offset would look more deep. i love wide wheels, ive never really had anything over 8 wide and i want atleast 10's in the rear. its gonna be widebody next spring so i might go even wider then but just 9 and 10 for now.

this is what I'd do. you should check the specs on the wheels again, +15 is not offered in 10" width
s14... 17x10 +12 rear, 17x9 +15 front
s13... 17x10 +25 rear, 17x9 +15 front

im leaning towards 265/40. or possibly 255/40. i found a good deal on some RT-615 but they are in a 255/40. which would be better??

what chassis do you have? do you have overfenders? that much tire is not going to fit a stock bodied car with that low of an offset. 245 is a mild stretch on a 10"

not to get off topic but what's going to power this car? unless you have some serious power these externally wide tires are just going to look silly.
