Quick Wheel/Tire Q...
What size wheel would sit flush with the 95-98 240 body style ? I heard it was +17 offset but wasn't to sure. And would 18's be too big of a look for it also ? I'm asking cause' I might buy this "Rasta" guys Champaign (sp) 98' Kouki 240 here shortly hopefully at the end of the month and wanna throw some wheels on it. Thanks !

Tire size becomes a factor when you're that close to the fender, too. Sleeper isn't running 245's up front, which is what I think of when I see a 9. Narrow(er) tires will let you run lower offsets. If you want to run beefy stuff, a 9+20 and 10+30 would be closer to what you're looking for.

Like jonas said, it depends on the wheels specs.
Offset doesn't matter if the wheels are like 5" wide (exaggeration).
Find your wheels, then deal with the tires later.
I personally think that 18" wheels are too big. I like 17's no more. Running big wheels is cool because it's trendy, but thats back in 2001. this is almost 2007, it wont be trendy any longer.
btw, make sure you have racing coilovers if you want to run it flush.
