I am new to buying rims. I have an 89 240sx with Z32 brakes on the front. Could anyone out there tell me what size rims/offset I need to clear those brakes. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the threads. I guess what I really am asking is what offset will clear those brakes.

clearance depends largely on spoke design, not offset

^ this man speaks the truth. let us know what wheels you're looking into and maybe you'll get some more informative responses.

correct get a rim with a convex spoke design like fn's or work sp1's....

now what im learning about is high disk and low disk anyone wana explain that ?..

high disk = clears big calipers.
low disk = not as much clearance inside the wheel but bigger lip.
