If +22 is just as efficient (as referenced "not as aggressive") for stock body 240'sx, that would be great to know when wheel shopping.
Also, could the same argument be made for 17x9.5 +12 wheel sizes too?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Both are fine, both clear coils, brakes, etc.
I personally prefer 17x9 +12 and consider it more 'ideal', but I only ever run 215/45's or 225/40's on mine along with a good bit of camber (and a slight roll).
The guy asking for advice wanted to run very little camber and 245/40's, which is why I recommended the 17x9+22's.
+22 is only as efficient as +12 if you are not running spacers. For example, if I bought +22's, wasn't happy with the fitment and added 10mm spacers, I feel I should have bought the +12's instead.
So IMO, +22 is still for people who either want a minimum roll, minimum camber, maximum rubber, or don't care about running spacers. +12 is still ideal for everyone else.
