Will these rims fit my 240? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hey ppls, a co werker has a 99 accord with some 17" 5zigen f15 rims on his car and hes changing and he wants to sell them. They're 17x7.5 with 225s and kuhmo tires all around. 4 lugs, but 8 bolts so it will fit civics and preludes as well. well hes only gonna sell it 2 me for $500 and i don't think thats expensive for those rims and tires. Do u guys think it will fit? Is the price ok?

You better try to test fit them first, because if they are fitting the Honda Civics, then I don't think they will have the correct bolt pattern for your car.

Yeah it should fit if it's 4-lug universal. I would test fit to see if it looks good.

yes, they will most likely fit especially if they are universal 8 holes, that's what mine are.

check the offset too.

aren't 225's too big, someone correct me if i'm wrong though i'm not to sure how that stuff works.

what are the side wall size?

uiuc240 · 04-08-2003, 10:43 AM

the 225's are fine. so are the rims. the only issues will be if you want coilovers (too high offset...probably +38 or +40) or Z brakes...there are very few wheels that fit Z brakes. you might be lucky, but it's just something to look out for.

personally, i would be asking the question: "yeah, they're cheap, but do they look good on my car? what do they say about me as a driver? is this the best way to spend $500?"

personally, if those were being offered to me, I'd skip it and spend $300 getting some Azenis or Kumho MX mounted on my stock rims...then save the $200 towards a nice shock/spring combo. or blow the $200 right away on some sway bars!

but i digress....

They will fit but you probably wont be able to run coilovers with them.
