I want to know some answers here. I want something VERY agressive, like pull+roll my fenders like crazy. I was looking at some 18 x 9.5 with a 12 offset for my car. This should be very aggresive rite? I was thinking about getting these. They are 18 x 9 +10 and 18 x 10 +5. But this might me too crazy.

personally I think I might be going with a 17x10 +35 in the back... with the car lowered I will need to roll the fenders... so I dunno about something that wide with such an offset.

Yea, I see all these 240sx running 0 offset like its nothing. Im a member on the 240 forums and they have a bunch of aggresive wheels. Anyone have some pictures of a good low offset?

I didnt want to push it too much, but here are the final wheel sizing.

18 x 8.5 +25 (F)
18 x 9.5 +28 (R)

Should work with some mild pulling and rolling.

I say go for the ones you were looking at, it will look siick!!! Ever thought about some godfather over fenders? They would alllow for more offset if you cut the fender under the over fender..
Sorry these are all the pics I got...

i did 18x9.5 +35 with 275/35r18 all the way around on my car, i was a little worried when i orrdered them, but i'm VERY pleased with the way it turned out. i had to tap the lip of the fender a little bit in the front with a hammer and take the liners out, but i think its worth it.

You didn't have to take the liners out of the rears, did you? Think there is enough space for 285's in the back with that offset?
