I'm kinda new to the whole forum thing, so I apologize if I shouldnt have started my own thread for this question, but after looking through some pictures I realized my question has more of a personal answer than general.

Im looking into buying some of deez in the future for my 95 s14 in 18"x8.5

Ive got z32 calipers up front, and I'll have coils before I purchase the wheels, but I'm wondering what the maximum offset I could use is without pulling/modifying my fenders? I want them all to be the same, as putting a bigger dish in the back looks tacky as hell. If possible I would like at least 2 inches of dish.

also, if anyone has seen these rims in person with multiple offsets or owns them, how do they accommodate for the offset? Ive seen a couple pictures of them with really curved spokes and they look like crap compared to the straighter ones

I know it's a lot of info, but any advice/information/pictures would be totally awesome to the max degree!

Offset 15 and above

thanks for the information :) so +15 is what I would need to clear my calipers? (first time buying rims) my major question is what is the biggest I could go before running into front/rear fender issues? 45? 40? I dont really want to run metal across my hub and pull out a gauge haha

Offset has absolutely NOTHING to do with brake caliper clearance. If you're gonna stay with stock fenders with out rolling it, shoot for about 9j +25, maybe +20 if you plan on running skinnier tires.

Also, look into the wheel fitment thread and Maximum wheel fitment threads to see what folks are running on their cars.
