2 people have already told you NO THEY WILL NOT BE FLUSH, you just aren't listening.

Look at the Wheel Whore thread previously posted and see what specs you like.

I am running 18x10s +32 in the rear (much wider and lower offset than what you're going to waste your money on) and my rears aren't perfectly flush. I would need to roll my fenders and get a 10mm spacer to make it flush.

why does tirerack say 42 offset for s14

are you serious? because tirerack doesn't recommend super aggressive fitment that requires suspension modifications, fender modifications and stretched tires.

a 7.5" +42mm is going to look like shit. go browse the wheel fitment thread.

Because theyre fucking stupid?!?! Like already stated for the 489579485938th time...go look in the wheel thread and take your picking. If you dont, then fuck it, go enjoy your sunken ass fitting wheels and dont bitch at us when it looks like shit. :kiss:

have a 95 base model and looking at some 18x7.5 rims that have 42 offset... is this correct?

That size and offset is weak. You'll buy them, install them, be ridiculed by your peers, try to sell them for half of what you paid for them, then buy the right wheel. Save your money, by the right wheels the first time.

Tirerack uses a guide book that does not take into account anything other than an OE fitment. Simple. They want the car to remain as close to stock as possible to eliminate possibility of clearance issues. For example if your car had coilovers, those wheels wouldn't come close to fitting.

After all this time of people showing off the correct sizes/offsets, you should know better than to follow anything but that. Search this forum and realize that what you want is at least an 18x9, +20.

people let him get the wheels, like he said he wants us to convince him. pssssh its ur lame s14 so YOU decide on how u want it to look. and if your avatar is a pic of ur car than i would have to say poor zenki!

.......
damn i cant let the poor zenki suffer, go buy some cheap sportmax 006.
front: 225/40r18 federals 595 on sportmax 006 8.5x18" +35 ( add a 15 or 20 mm spacer for fitment.)
rear: 235/40r18 federals 595 on sportmax 006 9.5x18" +35 ( add a 10 or 15 mm spacer for flushness look)

tires: under 400 shipped
wheels: under 670 shipped
spacers: 100 a pair
tuner lugs: 40 shipped

actual love for your s14.... priceless!!

cant i run 25 mm spacers and still be lookin good with 42

aznpoopy

11-11-2008, 07:59 AM

#1 no, that fitment (7.5 +17mm) still sucks

#2 even if you did get it flush (with a 50+mm spacer), flush 7.5 wheels look stupid because they are too narrow

Ineedparts

11-11-2008, 11:15 AM

You can run spacers to make it look good. If you found some wheels that you love then get them, you can use spacers to make them sit more flush.

fliprayzin240sx

11-12-2008, 11:08 AM

If your gonna spend money on rims, why dont you do it right and buy something that would actually look good on the car without fucking spacers? Spacers are stupid because its another piece on a car that can fucking fail and break. Get the right size and stop fucking around with dumb shit.

PS: I got a feeling you're pretty much assed out because you already bought ubber gay rims with these sizings...

To my knowledge, the largest wheel/tire that you can properly run on an s14 in the rear is a 9.5" width, +38 with a 275/40. This is a 17" setup. For the front, I would run an 8.5" width with a 22-25 offset. This is a PROPER setup meaning the tire AND wheel are in the fender well with just enough clearance for coilovers.

LOL, obviously your knowledge is very small and limited. That is not the largest rim/tire combo you can run. GSRACER has already squeezed in way larger than that on his old stock body s14.

Yea, and here is your boy GSRACERS quote about his car. Try again smart ass.

"20 by 11+ 30 with the first pull on 305-25-20's with some camber. I have since pulled the rears an additional 15mm"

so you can roll the fender and still have it be in the fender well. you can also run camber and have it be in the fender well.

"proper" doesn't mean anything

That's what he's runing and been running. Till he threw a widebody on it and coverted it to a kouki not to long ago. Anyhow, the 20's was for fun. He's not my boy, but I do respect the guy. You never said anything about rolling fenders, or stretching them, your exact words are "This is a PROPER setup meaning the tire AND wheel are in the fender well with just enough clearance for coilovers." There are plenty of people on this fourm that run way bigger rims with lower offsets on STOCK BODY cars that go by your standards of being "PROPER".

11-29-2008, 11:01 AM

Well, my kouki has Work Meisters 18x10 rear with a +20 offset, and it sure as hell isn't flush. The lip of the wheel sticks out of the fender by almost an inch. A good friend of mine runs 5Zigen pro gn wheels that are 9.5" +38 and they fit perfect. He has no camber and can put the car in the dirt with no issues. He runs a 275/40-17 Azenis.

What kind of 60' times you cut on your stretched tire cambered in setups?

Better yet, I could look like 80% of the 240sx owners out there. Drifter fag stretched tires on big wheels with lots of camber and get walked on by stock mustangs from any red light because my car won't hook. I got a 240 to drag race, not drift.

answer me this: In a 9" and 9.5" width on an 18" diameter, what is the widest wheel you can run in the rear of a 14 and what offset, keeping the wheel and tire IN the STOCK fenders with little to no negative camber.. I already have 18x10's in the rear +20 with a sh*tload of camber, and the top of the rim is still out of the fender 1/2".

The Works I have are being sold because reguardless of what people on here say, they are too big. I know, as I look at the car everyday. The wheels are out of the fenders.

Yea, I've been on there for the last 30 minutes, and all I saw was a bunch of retarded looking cars. People stretching 235' on 10" wheels and nearly every car on there is running at least -2* camber. That shit will tear up a set of tires in no time.

Honestly, how do you think that your car will EVER hook up with those pizza cuttin' a*s tires and all that negative camber? Do you like losing races? A civic on drag radials will beat 90% of the b.s. on there from a dig.

Point D: He should try an offset calculator and see what he gets.

im a little late but im running some tenzos that i had from my eclipse with a 42 offset and 7.5 wide. yea they could use spacers but it looks way better than stock. I wouldn't recommend getting wheels with this high of an offset cause you will need large spacers to set them flush.

so its not going to be flush....who cares? Isnt the OEM wheels 38+ offset or something?

The wheels I have on my stock s14 are FWD wheels at +40 , and they look perfect.

In fact im picking up a set of FWD 02 sentra se-r wheels with a +42 offset i believe tonight for cheap to be my winter wheels.

^ hahaha. I was thinking the same thing.

I say let the dude get whatever he wants. but the wheel offset whore thread is a perfect reference point. Lots of nice fitment even if you don't want to take it to the extreme you can still find perfect sizing for an s14. I can say I've learned alot from the thread with sizing of wheels. now I just actually have to get a good set instead of failing with sportmax's. but yeah. 9 width with a 15 offset should be your lowest. at the least. just thought I'd share my opinion. and I'm pretty sure your alone on your analogy chad.

Man this place is worse than honda-tech. I think what everyone is trying to say is that a 7.5 inch wheel with a +42 offset won't sit very flush. I think if you're trying to play it safe but still have a semi agreesive wheel fitment get a 20-30 offset.

let me buy your works for 500 and put them on my s13 and show you how they fit. Im running a 17x9 +22 with a 10mm spacer on my rear and i still could fit another inch of wheel under there no problem with my spacer on, take the spacer off and i could put your 11" wheels with some like 265's and be a happy panda. all i have done is a fender roll and a very very small pull, i mean you cant even tell unless you look at it right.
