no
no velox wheels
no adr fuels
no no no no no
40 offset on a 17x7 wheel = made for an accord
I dont care if it has a lip, if the offset is 40 or so it will look dumb on a 240.
With our cars you need to be heading toward a 30 offset wheel, but its not as cut and dry as that.
Many times people run a 'staggered' set of wheels where the rears usually are wider than the fronts. This looks MUCH more appropriate on a 240.
ADR makes the M-Sport in an 18" with proper S13/S14 staggered fitment. The 5zigen wheels have some staggering available. ROH makes the 'Drift-R' wheel which is available in a 17" with staggered offset. Then the expensive brands like Volk, etc.
In general, you will have a hard time finding the correct staggering in a 4 lug unless u go with a 5zigen wheel. If you're gonna stay 4 lug, get onto club4ag and start looking at wheels. You can run around a 10-30 offset 15x7 wheel on a 240. Might have to roll the fenders a little, but its no big deal. Tire choice factors in a lot too (aka dont get 205/40 tires on a 17 and expect it to look right).
