Lightbulb To Low ?

I just got me a 95 nissan 240sx (zenki) I'm thinkin' 15" or 16" inch wheels, something with deep dish (enkei mesh). But not sure, if the rim size I want is to low for the model. I also want to buy spacers, but dont know what size to get if I want the tire to stand out a bit (flush).

err

15s or 16s will be fine with stock brakes, they will be a little more mushy than 17s or 18s but will still perform very well with the right size/brand of rubber. make sure you consider spoke design, wheel width, and offset when you are shopping for wheels.

ehh 16's is about all the smaller u wana go with an s14, and meshies really dont go well with the car, but thats up to you. you dont want spacers you want a wheel with a good offset, just do some searching around to decide what sizes u want, or do u have a width ect in mind?

haha shut up ruiz. 200 dolla deal ftw. but seriously dont get meshies for a 14,especially if there 15x7.5. like enkie. meshies might be able to be pulled off on a 14 tho. like 15x9 and 10 in the rear with it sitting as low as possible on stock body with an oil coller mounted on the bumper. but generally meshies are s12,s13,ae86 status. s14s are balla, you run big wheels nyukka.

17x9 - 17x10 with a low offset, nothing higher than a +15 or 20. id run 225s of the 9s and like 235 on the 10s if you decide to go that wide.

what the hell?
Don't get FN01's.
Get Hot wheels, paint it white, leave the lip.
Get Cobra rims, paint it white, take off the lug nut cover.
Get MB Wheels.

FN01's are sooo 2005.

16's are the lowest for S14.

worst case scenario, get mb motorings. 17x9 +17.

S14 = 17s at least.

if i had a S14, R33s + 30mm spacers would be the wheel of choice. look into those, very cool.

i hope you are 5 lug, even if youre not thats a super easy fix. like $200 + junkyard + 30 minutes.

good luck.

For the low budget, FN01RC - 18 x 9.5 +12 all the way around. You WONT be disappointed.

For average budget (pushing it a bit) GramLight 57Pro 18 X 9.5 0 offset front 18 X 10.5 0 offset rear.

For ballers, Work Meister S1 2P 18 X 9.5 0 offset front 18 X 10.5 0 offset rear.

Please note, to fit the GramLights and Works rims, you may also want to seek a widebody.
