Anyone know if a 16x7 +30 offset front 16x8 +20 offset rear would be flush/okay or would it rub the fenders? Thanks.

Not sure about fitment, but we have them on the Skyline and I love the looks of them. They look straight up business, no bling.

ok,

I might have a very retarded and useless question, but for some reason I can't find the answer.

I have been looking for any sc that runs negative offset and could not find one. So is it possible, and does anyone have pics of it?

I am looking at these wheels


18x11 +0 offset in front !!

18x12 -17 offset on the rears!!

My friend showed me these wheels to buy, and first impression was there was no way to make that fit onto my sc very gracefully.

This friend has 18 x 12 with 0 offset in the rears on his 240sx (pulled the crap out of his fenders), and it looks like he can enter open wheel racing.

Is this set up even possible? I would think that, if it could fit, it would need fenders being pulled to kingdom come, or wide body fenders, running extreme negative camber, and stretching some 225s to make it fit and still have rubbing/clearing issues. ( I might have exagerated a bit)

It seems you have answered your own question... If you do it, let me know how it goes down...

My guess is that it will stick out and need fenders modified, etc. and there's also a question if it'll rub/touch any of your suspension, etc. Also, there's a thread with these kind of wheels on an SC. Maybe you've seen it. I'd say don't get them because of the crazy offset unless you can make it look good with a wide body or modifying the fenders.

So, after playing with the Nissan on Sunday. I just happened to have the car up in the air, so out came the impact and off went a wheel to see what an Enkei RPF1 would look like on the SC.

Here are a few pics, I am thinking 18's instead of the 17's but offset and width look nice to me. What do you think? The wheel and tire is 17x9 +35(I think) and 275-40-17. All of course with a 2" drop. Yes I know it needs the dents fixed, they will be in two weeks(what would you expect for 800 bucks).

current widebodies for the sc are 50mm at a maximum. you would need to run a crazy stretch/camber in the front and rear. in addition, you would need to widen the rear another 20mm or so. lots of body work for minimal gain IMO.

Help me out with this setup guys.....
5zigen FN01RC
17x10 +25 all around, lowered on Espelir springs
- Will a 275 fit in the back with just a fender roll?
- Will I have to run negative camber in the front and rear?
- What is the widest tire I should put in the front with a roll?

I want to get the concave look all around


Will the concave face clear the stock front brakes?
