Wheel advice

Mmmkay, ive finally ran across a little bit of cash and im finally getting some wheels. First of all, I do not have coilovers yet, but im getting them the same day, so...I will have them on with the wheels.

Is it a good/bad choice to go 17x8s all around? They have a +35 offset.
Or should I go 7" in front and 8" in the back?

I dont know much about tire/wheel fitment, but would I HAVE to buy 2 different sizes to match the 7" and the 8" or could I get a "happy medium"? Thanks...

its your call man.. a stock 240 has larger rear tires because there's more rubber on the road for traction.. i would suggest 8 in the back if you can, it'll only help you.. but if its 7, its not the end of the world.. everybody's got their own preferences

At least 8 in the back, 7 in the front would be fine, not the best, but if you can get a good price, why not? I want to get 9 in back and 8 in front, Doubt the back will fit without mods, but it's no big deal....I hope...

Assuming S13-

17x8 +25 would be Ideal but 35 will fit and look decent. Get the 17x8s all the way around, I wouldnt start staggering widths until you get into the 17x8/17x9 range.

Assuming S14
17x9 +15 Minimum

What exactly is offset and what does it do.

Also I have a s13 and all i have done in terms of suspension and wheels are some alu 17" six star wheels. But i wanted to a upgrade for drag what sizes, offset and tires would you suggest.

Also what kind of suspension upgrades should i do?

Offset is when you are from the middle of the wheel. +35 means the spokes are 35mm outside of the middle of the wheel, -12 means the spokes are 12 mm inside of the middle of the wheel.

go with 17x8 all around... people always think of bigger rear tires for launches and such but your front tires control you a lot around corners, especially if you drift... the extra money is deffinately worth it...

also I think smaller wheels in the front make the car handle somewhat different (someone correct me if I'm wrong) although you could get used to that I'm sure
