Default Rims on 240sx

for the s13, what is the lowest offset, and the lug pattern is 4x114.3 right? Lookin to get rims, but wanna make sure they'll fit... also, from personal preference, what rrims look tight on the s13s?

whatever diameter you want w/ at least a 8 inch width anywhere from +25 to +0. Larger would be better, you can fit up to a 9 inch rim with around a +15 offset, on a stock fender...and that would look the best. PDM racing sells some wheels made specifically for S13s, aka ones that fit right. Anything more then +30 is shit unless you are running a 10 inch wide wheels.

4X114.3 is correct.

Yeah, sorry, I tried to keep the same words through out the post, but my mind wandered.

Depending on what kind of look you want 17s and 18s will look best on a S13, or 15s or 16s. Again if you want more of an "old school" look go with 15s or 16s. 17s and 18s look good too.

And just to clarify again 8/9 is for the width, for example 17X8 and 17X9 +15 and +20 (respectively) would fit amazing on a S13.

Thats a 15'' rim with a 0 offset, tires are 205/55, a better fit would have been 195/55 or 195/50. But after adjusting the front camber and rolling the fender lip they fit much better.

Just to show the difference between the different looks of the wheels:

a 15/16 example (I don't know the actual size, but if I had to guess, I'd say 15X8 +15 or 20):



Another example of smaller wheels looking good (minus the messed up fender roll - wheels are probably 15X9 +10 or something rediculous)



Here is an example of a 17/18 inch wheel (probably 18X9s +15ish - again I don't know the actual size):



Better picture of the above car:



I tried to pick a stock looking car, so you could see just the wheels rather then wheels and body kit.

What kind of wheels? If you are looking for something cost effective Rota - don't believe the hype - makes some nice 18inch wheels, but you'll need a 5 lug conversion, I think. Rota also makes a Panasport knock off in 15X8 +0 or 10 or something low, that would fit your car perfectly, and I personally like the look.

Show me the kind of wheels you're looking for and I will show you where to find them.
