So I'd need hub centric rings with ^those^ inner/outer diameters? I just want to make sure I order the right rings the first time.

Only thing is the offset may get you and the rims may stick out too far. I'm not sure what a stock 240SX's offset is.
So I'm guessing these rims don't use "acorn" or "conical" style lug nuts which would center the wheel by the lugs?

Exactly what I have in mind!

found this link if you want a new set. not amazingly cheap, but a BUTT LOAD better than sportmax rota etc for the price.

Those are the ones I'll probably end up buying. I've asked a bunch of locals with Crown Vics to sell theirs but every time they go to say no, their dentures fall out.

I've even had wanted ads up in 3 cities on Craigslist trying to get a set but the one caller I got wanted like $600. Like hell Montel.

Still needing to know if I'm seeing spacers around the hub nuts in those pics I posted earlier!
