I have a S14 SE and I got a set Enkei RPF1 wheels for a really good deal. They are 18X8.5 with a 40 offset. im getting Tein Flex's and I was wondering what Size Tires would be good for these wheels. I was thinking of getting 255/35/18 for the rear and 235/40/18 for the front. If I need to Ill roll my fenders which I think I will have to do. I dont know If I want the streched look considering its not that aggressive of an offset so I want it to look nice and clean. Let me know what you guys think of some tire options.

Crappy offset... sell your wheels to a honda guy. I'm running 18x9.5 +15 and 18x10.5 +15 enkei RPF1s on my s14.

i dont think you'll have to roll anything with those offsets.

dmn when can people relize offset its so dmn important, its look handling and lot of choices for tires:naughty:

255 35 18 is the widest that i would fit on the wheel, you can try to squeeze on a 265 but it would be a tight fit and will buldge out. As far as if it will fit your 240 prolly not as the front struts may not have enough clearance for that high offset.

I would say for autox run a 245/40/18 or even 245/35

How about 235 in the front and 255 in the back? Or just 245 all the way around?

first check the rim clearance to your new suspension, that'll determine what size tire you will run in the front, that offset sounds like the rim for sure will rub your coils. check this first than take a pic, and we can help you pick the correct tire size based on that. I'm almost sure you will need a spacer
