***Yet another wheel offset question***

I have a stock 240sx hatchback, im picking up some 5lug hubs and im looking for some wheels. I found some Super Advans, and my question is how will they fit? will they clear everything, will I have rubbing issues and all that. Im new to the car tuning world so im a bit lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.

17x8 +35 in the front
17x9 +42 in the rear

I would suggest a lower offset wheel or else they would look really sunken.

this shit will probably get locked...but don't use those offsets. Like he said..they'd be sunkin. Look for a wheel with lower offset numbers.

Look under the wheel thread and see what everybodys running to give you an idea. Us giving you answers wont do anything for you since you wont learn shit from it. But yah those offsets too high by the way.

Super Advans are tight ~ offsets around 40 are not. Take a look at the wheel threads, most people list the offsets on theirs. Find offsets that make you roll your fenders.

You can always run wide tires on them to flush them up but the fronts might not clear coilovers. If you plan on drifting with the wide tires, you better have the power to spin them. If you liked the stretched look, get lower offset wheels and run narrow tires on them.

17x8 with a +35 offset in the front will rub into the springs/shocks if you dont run spacers or a more positive camber

look through the wheel threads. when you see fitment you like, PM the user if you have any questions (such as rubbing, coilovers, fender modification). but yeah, you'd want lower offsets, try around +17

I would recommend something like

17x8+25
17x9+35

If you want to stay conservative

17x9 +42 in the rear



i guess if you wanted to keep them, you could try to save yourself by running 30mm spacers........
