You can check this blog post out for more info.

Simone : My 1996 240sx: Test Fitting at Jordan Innovations.

Personally NismoKidd bought a set of LXZ's and he got the flat faced fronts and in pictures they didn't look bad. In person he said he HATES them and is actually looking to sell the whole set and just re-order in different sizes.

I did a lot of research before I bit the bullet, the lip I don't think is much different from my volks, technically the lips are an inch wider in front and a lot deeper out back now that I can ditch my spacers almost 2 inches back there. But mind you the spokes are going to take up 40 percent of whatever it says the lip is. Don't think that you're just going to have deep ass lips because you picked a huge negative number. The flats people run super retarded offsets in like -20's and they will fit flush with fenders like my fronts but you'd be amazed at how disappointing that 20 looks and how much brake clearance you have wishing you got an FR faced wheel for the front. My whole attraction to these wheels is they are 3 piece, lipped, and concave. as opposed to slightly convexed like my current wheels.

IntecRacing also has a zenki with the wheels on it but the owner wont tell anyone what sizes he runs.





grant wilson aka yokotas13 has owned like 15 pairs of LXZs' because he fails at life but is a boss in the jdm wheel game back in like '07 before we all started jocking steez, hit him up for any more info regarding these wheels as he helped me out with mine.

I bought Nismokidds.

If I ordered new I'd of gone FR all round myself but they look alot better mounted up.

You're right about the lip though, this is the best pic I have of them

last question:
So in your Blog you have/had only 12mm front vertex fenders in that Pic??
Judging by your Size choice & weds chart, You have 93mm FR face lips on the front w/ your 18x10 -3

I would be 19x9 -26 (106mm lips)FF face(on a 9" wide and Offset calculator states it would stick out another 7mm than yours)
*30mm fronts be ok with only slight camber you think would be plenty? Did you end up getting bigger front fenders?
I guess I could even go FR face -20 at the same lip and Still clear some Decent/q45 size Brakes.


Rears I believe it will be, 19x10 -26 will stick out the Exact same amount as your size, and have the same amount of lip as yours going by the WEDS chart.
Are you going to Run 50mm rears?Does yours need more fender with your fitment?

yup

-offset sticks out more, +closer so it makes sense.

I'm going to crank the camber first to see if it's that big of a difference, I may run 235/35/18's up front instead of 40's. My car rides pretty harsh as is since I have jic flt's

If the camber is at a ridiculous level to where I don't feel safe in the rain then I will most likely get a wider set of front fenders and dial it out. I have yet to see the wheels with tires and on the ground settled, just with the weight of the car on the rim. Who knows it may end up fitting perfect with minimal poke.

I guess I could even go FR face -20 at the same lip and Still clear some Decent/q45 size Brakes.

I'd beware about that, it may clear the brakes but even at 9.5 inches and that offset may mexiflush you. I believe the hub clearance for these wheels like I said before is static, it's the width and offsets that determine the poke. a 9 at that offset may make your wheelbase wider and poke out of 30's.

8mm more seriously is slightly enough to cover my wheels at probably .5 degree's more of camber.

Rears I believe it will be, 19x10 -26 will stick out the Exact same amount as your size, and have the same amount of lip as yours going by the WEDS chart.

Probably almost 15mm more than mine are going to stick out actually. But if you're going with 50mm rears that may workout for you. Mind you my pull that I currently have is pretty much the same width as a 30mm rear over, hence why I haven't bothered with putting overs on my car.

Are you going to Run 50mm rears?Does yours need more fender with your fitment?

nope, just need to rebuild my subframe and get some toe and traction arms to straighten out the toe a bit, that's the only reason I rub with 265's back there now.




If I could just neutralize the rear toe just a tad I wouldn't be burning sidewalls



If anything vertex ridge may be an option in the future but I would have to spend some decent coin converting a lang front bumper to fit the widebody by chopping up 1800 dollars worth of front bumpers and molding them together like Non Fujita did with his skyline front.

I hate free hanging corner light bumper designs.
