you'll have to give more info than that.

what width. what tires? any other suspension mods?

+42 is a gaysauce offset for a 240.

N1ghtk1d_D has Sentra Spec V wheels (I believe they are 17x7, +47) on his S13. At the moment, his suspension is completely stock, and odds are if lowered, it will not clear the suspension without spacers.

It'll fit.

It'll look sunken in, but it'll fit. Probably won't clear Z brakes without a spacer if you go that route (unless it's some really crazy spoke design), but yeah.

Just don't run too wide of a tire, or it'll rub. If you lower your car, it'll most likely rub on the suspension.

hope you weren't going for a flush or even remotely flush look.

it's probably going to look kinda weird.


i don't like fwd offsets on rwd cars. it's a pet peeve.

s14vaxlr8 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: rim help!!!!!!quickly

please i made this mistake 3 years ago, do some research and find the right size, youll regret your decision to go with a fwd offset
im running 17x9 rears +22 and 17x8 fronts +35 and the rears still could use a 5-10 mm spacer
