Can somone help me out with this please, I'm wanting to get some wheels that are 15x6.5 +8 in the front and 15x7 +8 in the rear. From researching it looks like the back will be pretty flush, I'm already running a few degrees of negative camber so I think they will be fine but I don't really know about the front. How far away will I be from sitting flush with these wheels? Also, can anyone give me the tire sizes I would need to maintain the stock overall wheel height. I would usually figure this out myself but I'm not very expirienced in the offset/tire size area and I just want to be sure before I buy. BTW, these are going on a zenki s14. Thanks in advance.

It all has to do with personal taste, I want 15"s for the same reason I just got done putting a CA in my s14. Regardless, I already know about the offset calculators, the problem is that I don't know what offset will sit flush on a zenki s14.

if you know about the calculators, how hard is it to manipulate or utilize the calculations that it yields? apparently you dont know about the miata calculator because it tells you exactly what tire to run in order to conform to stock spec...*sigh* ingrate...
but for reference, as of right now, i have 16x7 +0...on my neg camber side (probably -2 to -3 degrees) its flush and the top is tucked...on my not so neg side (probably -.5 to -.8) it rubs horribly...yes, im in dire need of an alignment...and im running 205/55, no stretch; which is stock diameter for s14s...

Sorry about that, thanks for the info though, I havn't ever checked out the miata one but I have messed with the other one.

Ok, I checked them out and according to my calculations it looks like I'm gonna need atleast a 10mm in the front and the back for them to look really flush. Anybody want to double check my work?

Those are more like Hachi fitment (6.5s), but they won't be stock wheel sunk on your S14, but they aren't exactly gonna stuff the wheel well.
I know its your personal choice, but I think 15's are more for S13s, rather than S14.
If you haven't bought them yet I think you should keep looking, not hating just keeping it real. Just keep rolling on stock wheels till you can find something better, $.02.
Tire size for the 15s probably 195/60/15, or a 185/60/15, if you had to run these. And yeah, the 10mm should do fine, but then you'd have to run extended studs, which seems like a whole lotta work for not much return.

True, I think I'm gonna pass on them now, I thought they would fit a little more flush than that at first. Thanks for the help guys.
