yeah i have to agree with aggressive for this one time, dont go bigger than 16's for autox, even though volks are a lightwieght wheel.

As for show, if your gonna put 19's on your 240, then why not put 20s on it, bag it, cut your fenders, widen them, and tuck MAD wheel and make the body of your car smack the ground. That will win you shows, not having 19" wheels and a huge wheel gap. Think about camber and rubbing issues with 19" wheels.

I have to agree with both points.

I would go with light, ugly purpose made 15"s for autox. Or just multiple sets of SE rims.

The boy does know this. Remember he had a show Honda. Now that is a tough crowd to compete in. There are soo many people with them.

May I add, VERY tough class, but i kept my car clean and not ricey and thats why I won awards, plus i also had a full system, TV, PS2, etc, etc. But dont go with 19's its a waste of money...spend it on getting a sr20det swap, or if you have one already, get some turbo goodies...

let me leave you with this little quote

"looks eventually fade, but speed never fades and is always respected"

I would have said the same thing. I get information from here and if you look you will see that the convertable is the only car posted for the year 1994.

Thanks for clearing that up battle and I hope that explains where rude might have come up with that information.

Re: S13 Offset for 19" Rims

18 is reasonable....but 19??? You might as well get 20 inch chrome rims for your 240, you fit right in with that category idiot.

I need to get the offset that would be correct for the set of 19" rims that I plan on purchasing for my s13 and would like any help on the offset for it.

on the front 19"x8"
Rear 19" x 10"

I am rolling out the fenders of course, but what would be the correct offset so the wheels don't stick out the fender and is proper.

These rims are being cutom made, so The help would be appreciated as they will be no returning on these.

Thanks

Well whatever you guys think thats cool. The 19's will be tight no doubt about it. rubbing issues aren't a concern will just have to adjust the JIC's or Teins's (whenever I make up my mind). Well u guys tell me what size will fit with the 300z conversion. I don't think the stock SE rims will fit after that because I'll be making it 5 lug?

Then I'll save the money from the volks, get some factory 'Z' Rims and get some falken azenias and go crazy. Thanks for the help.

I'm a work in progress. Its hard going from a show lifestyle to a speed lifestyle. Everyone around my way has some iLL hooked up rides and that's whats been the influence all these years. Speed=Fresh breath of air

oh yeah on a side note..
as someone once told me...
if you want OG rims stick with the 4luggers...
if u want new school stick with the 5 lugs...
and if u want 17's or bigger go 5 lugs..
they dun seem to like the 4 lugs in 17+
and then offset becomes a concern and that is when u use spacers or that other crap.. (cant recall the name)
