its just going to look sunk. if you want to confirm this for yourself, just do a search for the 'wheel spec' threads.

i'm not a big nazi about flush wheels, but its just not a good size. they have bad fitment and are big, heavy and narrow. it's like the ultimate combination of no show and no go.

why choose a 240 if you dont anything about them, not to mention imports.
I'll tell you why, you see them around and think you'd be cool if you had one also. If you actually put those wheels and 'coilover's on the car will like 100x worse than stock and people will think your car looks like shit, and seeing as how thats the whole reason you got the car, wanting acceptance from everyone else.. you will have failed and been out some money

I am not trying to go all race just for show on the streets thanks for any opinions and suggestions.
Yes we can see you are new to 240SX and you obviously don't know sh*t about these cars by asking questions like the 18in wheels and some ghetto coil overs for $20.

If you want it for looks you might as well put these on

and ride them on airbags.

Oh yeah so you got a 05 STS.....
What does that have to do with this?
Was that suppose to be a wow factor?
Good news is that you'll have to stick with your STS for the next 5 years because you'll have too much negative equilty
If you had paid cash for your car like you would probably say great news! your car value just dropped $25000 in one year!
The gas you pay for your "straight 8 motherfu*cker* You'll be eating top ramen everyday just to get by.

sort of. Were talking at least 25mm bolt on spacers depending on tire size jsut get them relatively flush Many people think that 7.5 is to skinny for a wheel that is that tall for instance.
15x7
16x7 or 8
17x9 and wider
18x9.5 and wider

with all the offsets being in the between 0 and +20. The velox wheel sizing are for fwd cars not rwd like your 240.

yes. but for the amount of money you spent on those wheels and then wheel spacers, you could've bought a set of wheels that were sized right to begin with.

So why don't you just sit down and shut the fuck up, and keep on reading your import tuner magazine you dumb fuck. cheers
Wow... you sound ignorant as fuck... and not just about cars.

Look you asked for opinions. We gave them. Deal with it or leave. I would prefere you leave. Those wheels will look like ass on an s-chasis. Pizza cutters FTL.

Those 'coilovers' look like crap. They will give you a terrible ride quality and blow your shocks in no time. You need to chill with your hater attitude (and be WAY more careful who you direct it to. Mr.Meph is a well respected member here that knows more about the s-chassis than you will ever know... ever. And he is a Moderator to boot. Talk about biting the hand that feed you) and go back to your caddies.

You yourself say you know nothing about the 240 (or any other imports for that matter) yet you get all asshurt when the people that know a great deal about them (us) tell you how it is. Grow the fuck up.

why do you want a 240 for a daily driver. chances are if you bought it for $700 somethings wrong with it you dont know about. 240s are old cars and will break down on you alot unless you put time and money into them and know a good deal about cars. if your new to imports why would you want a 240? its just waiting to break down on you and those rims and tires arent gonna help it run better.

lol, why would you buy a 17 year old car for a daily driver when you claim to have a brand new car? 17 year old cars are not known for reliability, expect to spend another $700 fixing things that are worn out/broke within the next 3 months. You asked for opinions, and people gave you them. Don't get butthurt and pissy because they disagree with you. Whenever you ask for opinions, expect good and bad. Also, making fun of one of the site's Administrators (and a very well respected member of the community) is not a good way to make friends. Those 'coilovers' are crap, and your shocks will be blown within a month. And if you want to imagine what the wheels will look like on the car when slammed, imagine looking at them at the end of a tunnel. They were not designed for RWD cars. The spacers required will cost almost as much as the wheels.

First off you should no be talking back to ANYONE, because YOU asked for opinions. you could have told the negative ones to not comment with your first post, but then you would have gotten maybe 1 reply.
Second - those wheels will fit horribly, spacers could help, but it would be a waste of money. im also guessing that if you do purchase spacers, you will get the cheap pep boys ones to save some money. those spacers would make your car VERY unsafe especially since you will be riding on "coilovers", which i like to look at as plastic perches with some slinkys on top.
those coilovers are crap and you will HATE the ride quality. those so called "coilovers" are made for people who just want to slam a car. it will break your back everytime you go over a bump and your shocks will blow in a matter of months if not less.
Lastly - do us all a favor, dont buy the car, or sell it if you have. you said you want to DD the car, but we all know that you want to try and drift the car when you're bored. we can thank all the drifting hype and FF3 for that. dont even try and deny it because you could have bought a civic for less. please dont make 240 owners look any worse than we already do. TRY to not take any offense to MY OPINIONS because you asked for it.

HAHA! Your attempts to neg rep me do nothing, nice try though.

Get a life and some education before you start bad mouthing other people's "white boy shit." Since when did this become a matter of race? We have a VAST array of ethnicities represented on this board.

"ban me for all i give a fuck. hahahahaha."
Be careful what you wish for.

Oh and way to fail completely at the internet. I can't belive you actually expected people to treat you well when you so blatantly flame anyone who doesn't like your big bling, horrible fitting rims and p.o.s. 'coilovers'

You came to a board with A LOT of knowledgable people asking for an opinion on something they know VERY well. We gave you our opinions and you didn't like them so you started throwing a tampertantrum... real mature, really makes us want to be nice to you.

Good ridence.
