Wheel size/offset/wtf question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

"The finish is GOLD with about a 2 inch machined lip w/rivets. The fitment is 14", unknown RWD offset, 4x114.3 to fit ol' skool RWD 240SX, 240Z, 280Z, Celica, 510, 210, Mango, Starlet, Supra, Corolla, etc, etc. I estimate the offset as being +20 or less."

Ok thats what the guy has to say about these rims...

The wheels in question

My question to you ladies and gents: How would those look on a 93 coupe, with AGX's and sportlines? anyone have ANY idea?

those wheels are too small, unless you run something like a 65... and because you're still on sportlines, you don't have the option of closing the wheel gap you will create with a smaller wheel.

14s?
terrible.

smaller than stock!

I had 14's on my car before... they were really small.... LOL

i would say buy them if they're cheap (what's the width?), but finding a good 14" tire in the proper size is hard. 205/60-14 is a little short, but you can get the ES100 in that size. there's a lot of sidewall, though. i've got 205/60 on 14x6 280zx wheels, i can feel the tires rolling over on semi-hard turns. but, good for daily driving.

or you could be like chmercer and put the super short azenis on 14x8's cause they're cheap. good for track (maybe).

my car's dropped as low as sustec pro ss can go, but look at the fender gap. with 16" gram lights and slightly taller tires it was almost tucking.

14's on a S13 are WORTHLESS

Offset is prolly coo but they're 14's.. get something else.

those would look really good on a 1st gen rx7, a 510, or an ae86. if you can get em for cheap, buy them then put them up for sale
