Default wheel opinions

hey everyone I am new to the nissan world but have been and still building hondas for ten years- I picked up an amazingly clean 89 240- for a good price -so far done
pics of car in my gallery - this thing is clean- wheels on soon-

1- twin cam ka swap
2- just picked up kyb adjustable and eibach springs (lowers car 2.1 inches)
3- picked up some oldschool jdm mesh wheels (pic in my gallery please check out) 15 x 6.5 and I think offset is 14
Let me know what you think of the wheels- I am debating going with a bigger wheel -or also what size tire you guys recommend- for this rim
thanks in advance for your feedback

What is the best size tire to run on this size rim?

wheels are good....just toss the spring strut combo and get coilovers and youll be much happier with the wheels

mainly daily driving but will have some fun learning how to drift it - before I make big plans I have to finish another project in the next few months - then I will have a better idea of what I will be investing into it. Also still trying to educate myself on all the options as I am not as familiar w/ the nissan world

It looks like you already have a fast car, so I would probably setup the 240 for handling and get some nice coilovers. I would ditch the wheels unless you are dead set on them. They arent very tall or wide. Convert to 5lug.
