i have thyphoons 17x7.5 +35 offset (yes i know ultra gay..)

will a 30mm spacer be to much, will it make the wheel stick pass the fender alot? i dont have crazy suspension and im not slammed, i have agx/gf210. so will the +30mm be to much for the front wheels.

also i have 17x9+43 offset in the rear, will the 30mm spacers be better in the front or back.

i guess my real question is what size spacers do i need to makes these rims fit simi flush w/o rolling fenders or adj camber?

thanks, and please dont flame me.:mepoke:

and you'll be all set. just find a set you like the look of and see how far off the outer edge is.




or this might help

take off the wheel and put enough washers on the lugs to move the wheel where you would like the measure the thickness of the washers

do 30mm front and 20mm rear, nice and flush, may need a sllllllllight roll in the front though.

You'll be fine with those spacers if you max out the factory camber on the front.
17x7+0 will sit the same as a 17x7.5 +6, which will be slightly poking out of the fender with 0 camber near stock height.
maxing out the camber will tuck the tops of the wheels in a bit, which should make them flush depending on your ride height.
To adjust your camber, put the car on jackstands, take off the fronts, and loosen the two bolts where the strut joins the spindle. then push in at the point to increase your negative camber. Since you live in the Northeast, it may stick a little bit. after you max your negative camber (which should be about -1.5 to -2 degrees on non coilovers with lowered rideheight, tighten the bolts, bolt the wheels back on, and lower the car back to the ground and see if the wheels sit flush.

I just noticed you have an S14, not an S13. You won't need to adjust your camber, you'll be fine.
