I know you guys like the 18" SportMax wheels, but I do not want 18s.

Does anyone know if these Sportmax 962 staggered wheels would fit??

17x7 +35
17x9 +35

They will fit, but it's a fairly conservative set-up.

Get 18s at least.

I have 18s and they seem smaller and smaller every day I couldnt imagine how small 17 will look.

17's don't work well on the big bodied SC. Plus with those widths and offsets, those will be more sunken than the Titanic.

^+1 The BBS/Moda 5-spoke 16s my SC came with make it look like a fat kid with skinny legs.

Thank's for the input guy's.

IMO, Supra TT 17s look great on these cars..with a drop.

Plus with the 18s, won't I have to roll the lips just to have them fit right? I want something that bolts right on..and is easy so I can move on to the engine mods!!


That's funny!

IN the "Official Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide" they show several SC'ers who've gone to 18s with no fender lip roll required. It's all about the offset. For example:

you can go as low as +38 on a 10” wide wheel in the rear without any fender modifications and as low as +22 on a 10” wide wheel with your fenders rolled. your tire size plays a big role here.

front: rim size 18x9; offset +44; tire size 245/45/18; no fender modifications
rear: rim size 18x10; offset +49; tire size 265/35/18; no fender modifications

MongolKhan
front: rim size 18x9; offset +24; tire size 255/35/18; fenders rolled
rear: rim size 18x10; offset +22; tire size 265/35/18; fenders rolled

Jeremyp111
front: rim size 18x8; offset +38; tire size 245/40/18; no fender modifications
rear: rim size 18x9; offset +38; tire size 265/35/18; no fender modifications

Dx3
front: rim size 19x8; offset +45; tire size ???; no fender modifications
rear: rim size 19x8; offset +45; tire size???: no fender modifications

mrshabo
front: rim size 19x8.5; offset +34; tire size 245/35/19; needed fenders rolled
rear: rim size 19x9.5; offset +36; tire size 275/25/19; needed fenders rolled

See the 19s up there that didn't require fender mods? Cool eh? Give the sticky a quick scan through...especially the first several posts. It's what helped me select my SportMax 18s.

I'll echo the others comments, 18's at least. Though I'm not a fan of SportMax quality. I come from the Nissan/Infiniti world and many 240sx guys had SportMax wheels break/fail under normal driving conditions ... yes that means the occasional pot hole.

Look for some OEM type take off's. The 18" 5 spoke Nissan 350Z wheels look great on an SC (can't find the picture I saw online) and the fitment is good though not aggressive (18x8 +30 & 18x8.5 +33).

from what i gathered an 18x9 in the rear with as low as a 35 offset would be close but fine.

if you want them to be more flush (20-30) then it is time to start rolling
