Proper S14 wheel fitment - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ZenkiAlec · 08-08-2012, 06:04 PM

Hello all, I have a 1995 Nissan 240sx. I recently bought wheels with +45 offset, and they are obviously sunk into the wheel well. I kinda would like the wheels to be more flush with the fenders. I've been looking at bolt on spacers, but I'm not sure what size to get? Maybe 30mm? Please Help?

Thanks, - Alec

25mm spacers will make the stock wheels look flush

Really? Okay thanks. I'll have to go with 30mm cause my studs are just over 25mm. I forgot to mention that my wheels are 17x7. Does wheel width make a difference in fitment?

17x7 +45 is pretty much the weakest wheel you could put on a 240. Sell them to someone with an accord. Buy wider wheels with lower offsets.

Yes, I am now aware of that. I was stupid and bought the wheels without knowing much about offset, I'll admit that. But now I'm stuck with them.
