Default cheap 17x9 17x9.5 wheels

Just as the title states, i need some cheap wheels that are 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheels with an offset that will carry a 255-40-17 front tire and a 275-40-17 rear tire for my 95 SC300. This is going to be a track car, and I am wanting to get some driving time in over winter, so ugly wheels can apply. I know 240SX guys use XXR, and I have found some that I like but not sure about the offset i would need. any help is accepted greatly

I'd say high 30s to low 40s for the front, and mid-high 30s and you'll be fine without rolled fenders. If you're rolling your fenders, you'll have a lot more options.

OEM IS300, or GS400 looks good IMO. I've got a set of GS on mine. Replacing them in spring but still dont mind rollin on them now.

+15 forsure, get 9.5s all four corners, you will need to roll your fenders

i had a set of 18x8.5s and 18x9.5s for my sc looked good in the rear but i regret not getting 9.5s in the front

this is what ive been wanting for months now, i cant wait to get the bronze ones with 15 offset and 9.5 all around.

found this same setup a few times on here it looks great and still keep to what i like, a more sporty and less "classy" look of our cars.

I like the looks of MB battles a lot on an SC300. Do you all think a 245-40-18 tire would clear up front and a 265-35-18 out back? I'm building a track car, I need as much grip front and rear as possible. My ideal tire size is 255-40-17 Front and 275-40-17 rear. Thats what i really want, and im not afraid of pulling, rolling, cutting and trimming the fenders, out front im actually going to a +25mm wide fender and maybe even flare the rears. can't afford a true wide body so Im going to do it the poor man way lol
