I am looking at a set of staggered wheels for my s14.(95 se)
I found a set with no tires, but i am no wheel expert and i was told there are quite a few here on Zilvia. here are the specs
Front 18x9 offset +12
Rear 18x10 offset +30
My car is still on basically stock suspension (stock springs on Kyb struts) with R32 gts-t front brake upgrade. This wheel is online with no refund, so i need to be as sure as possible they will fit. Thanks for your help.

what type of disc are they? who makes them what model? it might help, but the offsets look like they'll clear anything

They'll look like shit with stock suspension. Hell, with stock suspension, anything can fit. On stock suspension, those are going to stick out, but I assume suspension upgrades are in the future. Only thing is the disc shape in the front, that determines if they will clear your brakes.

I THINK those will fit fine on ROLLED fenders.
I'm running a 9.5 plus 17 front and a 9.5 plus 22 rear with WIDE tires and they fit with rolled fenders, lowered car.
Those offsets stick out SIMILAR to what mine do... I'd say you'll be fine. now all you have to worry about is disk type and brake clearance.
But yes, buy some suspension(like my tein springs or my ksport coilovers...Shamless plug) before buying expensive wheels. JMO

The wheels are being discontinued in this color, so its kinda now or never type deal.
how much you asking for your springs or coilovers....what kinda drop on the springs?? My driveway is a bitch, front lip scrapes if you dont crawl off it, so i dont wanna drop too much.

for those wheels, never > anytime
there are far better things for you to do (and not just on your car) than waste time with Motegi on a stock body s-chassis

the teins are a minimal drop...like 1.2 inches if i recall correctly- 120 with stock struts, plus shipping. (bolt off, bolt on deal)
the ksports look pretty damn new and will allow you to raise or lower your car to whatever height and adjust the "softness" or "firmness" of the ride. 600 shipped
btw- i don't think those rims are terrible.. decent price...I'd track/drift them for sure. However, i wouldn't put them on a stock car.... suspension first, rims last

I might take you up on the teins......
I just scored a set of 18'' 350z touring wheels from my bud for 300 bucks!!(he works at a nissas dealer)
Let me see if they clear the strut...if they do, I will buy those from you.....if they dont....I will go with coilovers.... thanks for your input guys!!
