but do i really need overfenders/wide body in the rear or is it okay to have

Rooled guarda in rear and 30mm fenders in front <-- my setup right now...
i have 18x9,5 offset 47 in the rear with 25mm kics spacers and i have like 20-30mm to the guard edge and i wanna get rid of the spacers and go deep dish...

here is some wheels options:

SSR Vienna DISH II:

or maybe some complete diffrent styles, maybe trackday style like the LMGT4 or TE37

as you can see there is there can be some wider rims on it :w00t:

The exact setup in that first pic, is 50mm over fenders with 18x11.5 +1 w/ Federal 595 tires in 245/40/18

all those wheels are baller either way u have a nice set of wheels i wish i could get on that level gatta pay to play
if i did have a choice id go with vienna dish 2

[blackrms13]

VS-KF are hoot

but ur best bet is to look through the wheel fitment thread on here

i also think that the dish 2 is really nice, and not a wheel all have, like the VS-KF/SSR courage...

but how is it with playment for the wheel to hit the suspension or something like that whem i go low offset....

Uh... the lower the offset, the further away from your suspension the wheel is...

Go read up on offsets and what effect they have on wheel fitments and all that.

first you gotta decide what you want to do with the cars, if you need the performance of a light weight wheel, go with TE37, if you just wanna look baller, go with the VS-KF's or something similar, i think the SSR Viena disk II's look like pure shit on any kouki personally. but thats just my opinion.

do you have nice brakes? probably want to show them off if so, and get a more spoked design not a full face wheel.

But first, Performance or baller?

i have original brakes all round,

and performance VS baller... hmm

Im not taking the car to some tracks ( but it can be i will do it)

but baller seems to be more me, but maybe i schould go with some other whels?!? i also like the "performance" look like a trackday car, but im really not sure what to pick... maybe come up with some good pictures with baller and performance....

btw i like the way that cars looks:

but i really think i wanna go for that style...

i have rooled guards, but what do i do with the inner fenders in the rear, i cant lower the car much before the tires gonna rub aganst the fenders

[Z33dori]

mesh look - meen the style like WORK VS-XX

btw do anyone have had ultralite nürngürger on?"!? the rims is preety cheepo ( then i have some $$ for other stuff :D)

http://www.srbpower.com/images/ultralite/nurburgring/nurburgring-gold-full.jpg

but my only prob is that the wheels on the cars i have searched with the ultralite whels not have that big a dish

[boozy]

or maybe im for the wheel on the edge look - dont have to have a big dish....

like this :

btw is it okay to go for rota torque drifts, or schould i go for the real one`s work emotion ( think of the cash, and the trouble to get the works to me, i live in denmark, and its gonna be expensive to get thoose work wheels)

[Z33dori]

yea a prime set of VS-XX would look perfect.

[boozy]

yea a prime set of VS-XX would look perfect.

but here we go again, a set of this is way to expensive for me, what brands with deep dish makes mesh style, come up with many,. dont have to many options in denmark :D

I don't think the rotas will come in a low enough of an offset. It looks like you probably want some 18X9.5 or 10s out back with a +0 to a +10 offset. Then you can run some 225/40s or 235/40s and slam the car after you roll the fenders.

the rota comes in 18x10 ET12 i think, anyways i can use spacers, but i dont wanna use 25mm spacers :fruit:

btw do you mean i have to roll the inner fenders?!? because my rear fenders is allready rolled

id say some TE-37's or some WORK VS-XX

love thoseeeee

[bullitt519]

So is your question what will be the lowest offset widest wheel you can run with deep lip and still stay stock body with just a roll and pull in the rear?


And as far as the wheels style goes pick them yourself this is your car, if you can't do that u aint down.

[blackrms13]

i think the wheels on the white S14 is Rotas...
IIRC they come in like 18x9.5 in like +12 or 15
IMO pretty good size to get nice n flush

[boozy]

whats the max on std guards ( mine just rolled so it cant be that much....

[95KA-Turbo]

I used to run a 17X9 -2 with a 215/45 on just rolled fenders in the back and I currently have a 17X10 +7 with a 245/40 up front with just hammered front fenders. I have a 17X11 +12 with a 255/40 out back with a slightly pulled rear fender.
