17 x 10 rims to the rear what proper offset is needed?

[initial s14]

i am thinking of putting some wide rims on the rear of my s14. i saw one once at a convention in los angeles that first happened at Speedzone in City of Industry awhile back and had 265 tires on it. i assumed its got some 10s on. it looked bad ass! the front may have been a 17 x 8. i wasnt able to speak to the owner due to he maybe lurking around too checking some other cars. but anyway, what is the disadvantage part of getting rims like that on the s-14 (if any?). if i am racing my car? the answer is no. so if in one point you think it might be too heavy for a stock ka24 like me i think im alright since i dont drive fast but like a senior citizen. i am just for the looks. anyway if i get em, what offset will be the right one where i am not goin to put much weight on the lugs? is it a positive something or negative something?

if the owner of that s-14 is reading this please post your car's rear 3/4 shot here. all others that maybe similar that has 17 x10 rims , please post your pic too.

your car looks like kenta nakamura's car in that racing jap-anime "INITIAL D". OOPS! was that a blue mr2 behind you? **** ! you guys are from initial d ! oh wait a second , never mind, it was a supra.:p

anyway, your ride is tight ! how was your acceleration with these 285s?

considering its KA powered, it felt like i lost 15rwhp when i put those wheels on. but they look great, i wont be racing anybody anytime soon.

Twinturbozs, I was wondering if you know what kind of rims are on the Blue car behind you in one of the pictures, and If you have any more pics of that car? If you do - could you link me? or send them over to [email protected] -- Thanks

that my friend if im not mistaken is Club Linea Stella. and they are expensive even if they are sold used. ive seen one for sale as used.. this is at alteration used japanese rim store. they are part of option magazine and currently doin business here in the U.S. ... if you want we could meet up and take you there.:D

those wheels are Sterns, im cant remember what style they are called. they are 17x8 and 9.5's i think. They look awesome. ill send you some pics when i get home. They actually may be up for sale. I tried putting them on, but they wont clear a Z32 caliper. without a 15mm spacer.
