Work Wheels Emotion CR KAI 17x9 +17 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 9 inches wide with a +17 offset up front, and 18-inch by 9.5 inches at +12 in the rear, in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern the Nissan 240SX uses.

A +17 offset on a 9-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in an aggressive position close to the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +12 offset on the 9.5-inch wheel pushes the rear out further for the staggered look.

215/45R17 / 225/40R18 tires on 17x9 wheels

The tire size is 215/45R17 front and 225/40R18 rear: a 215 mm section width with a 45 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Federal SS595. We stock Ironman IRON iMOVE Gen 3 AS 215/45ZR17XL at $82 each in this size, and other 215/45R17 tires through the 215/45R17 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

This Nissan 240SX is on stock suspension, so the ride height is factory and the fitment you see here works without lowering the car.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, 10mm spacers, rolled fenders front and pulled and rolled fenders rear. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Nissan 240SX comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
