Alright so my friend came over with his 240 and I wanted to see what some 16s looked like on my car with a 205/45/16 tire on it because that was similiar to what I was going to buy.
Heres my car the day I lowerd it 195/70/14 14x6 ET 35 H&R Race Springs and Blienstien Shocks and Struts
This is with my friends rims on 205/45/16 16x7 ET 25
Now I thought they looked pretty good, with the bottle caps my wheels were tucked and no rubbing at all unless i had 4 people in the car. With his wheels on there was some minor fender gap. However the wheels that im going to buy ar xxr 002s and in 16x8 ET 0 with either a 205/45/16 or a 215/45/16. I was thinking of running a 50 series tire so that it would basically fill the gap and be exactly fitting how the bottle gaps were but with the ET 0 it will be pretty aggressive and I may need a fender roll if i run the 215 with the 50 series tire or even the 45 series. 205/45/16 would be on the safe side but I dont really want the stretch. Im just throwing some ideas out there, hopefully you guys have some input to help me with.
This is how it sits in the hub, the e30 hub is smaller then the 240sx hub but even on that with the xxr wheel it is bigger, maybe they make adapters for these? Hes been running it like that for over a month and no problems. (Camera angle makes it look like its sitting in there tilted but its not) Bolts fit but its pretty tight, his studs and nuts fit much better but mine still worked fine with no modifications.
Let me know what you guys think!
