s14 kouki vs s13 wheel offset difference

[Silverbullet]

Hey guys, the information that i am looking for uses terms that are too common for just about every other thread, so hopfully someone can give a straight up answer, as I know I've seen it once in a while in random threads.

I am using wheels from an S13 that were flush to go onto an S14 kouki. I would like to retain that fitment, however I know S14 bodies are wider than S13 bodies, and Kouki s14 front fender are possibly even slightly more wider than zenki fenders.

What spacers should i be using in the rear and the front? I have the impression they are about 5mm wider on each side, however I would like for that to be confirmed so proper spacers are bought

any love?

:ughd:

20mm on the rear iirc. not sure on front

wtf. why not mount them on first and decide for yourself. flush is a personal thing. not everyones idea is the same

17x9+15 for s13
17x9-0 for s14

Thanks for the other responses.

17x9+15 for s13
17x9-0 for s14
So is the S14 15mm wider on both front and rear on each side?

thanks for contributing. Do you want my life story?

My S14 is daily driven, and my S13 is stored 200 miles away. I will only be with it for a few days, and in that time, i would like to have the spacers already and bolt them on.

My S13 is already flush -my idea of flush. I would like to retain that same flushness, which hence why I'm asking what the body difference is. Do you have any more questions?

nice info.

roughly 15mm difference i suppose...

there is no clear answer, we all have a different idea of what flush is.


I think flush means that the wheel lip is even with the fender lip, not protruding past it.

If you have stock fenders, stick to the rule of thumb above.

What are the wheel sizes? I ran a 17X9 +3 w/ 215/45 and currently run a 17X10 +7 w/ 245/40, it could come out about 5mms in both cases, or go in about 5mms and run a slightly larger tire. This is on a kouki S14 btw.

your rears are pulled aren't they? I couldn't pull off the level of your flushness since the tires on wheels aren't stretched lol

F: 17x8 effective offset of +22 on 225/45 tires
R: 17x9 eff offset of +25 on 245/45 tires

I liked how they sat on my S13 but they will be def sunk on the S14. I'm going to be buying spacers for my S14 anyways so i figure might as well just do it once. its just slightly inconvenient with the car and the wheels that will be on them are 3 hrs away from each other lol

I agree, for a daily beater anyhow.
