I did some research on the volk TE37's and I realy like the way they look on S14's. It seems that there are also a million different offsets. I also read the stickyed offset thread and I understand the concept.


Here is my reference for available rim sizes.

My question is...

If want to run a nice adjustable strut on a aftermarket spring or a factory spring; maybe a set of OHLINS 32 way adj and Z32 brakes front and rear
and I want to run a stagard setup on my S14, what should I run?
Keep in mind I dont want to stretch the tires or pull or roll the fenders, I want a good clean look that gives me available tire sizes and clears stock fenders lowerd less then 2 inches.

I was thinking of the following setups

******Any help is appreciated******

Stagered an inch in width and radiuse
16X7 FRONT 17X8 REAR
17X9.5 +12/15 FRONT 18X10 REAR


Stagered an inch
17X8 FRONT 17X9 +22 REAR
17X8.5 +12 FRONT 17X9.5 REAR
18X7.5 FRONT 18X8.5 REAR


Stagered a half inch
17x7.5 FRONT 17X8 REAR
17X8.5 +12 FRONT 17X9 +15 REAR
18x9 +12 FRONT 18X9.5 REAR
18x9.5 +12 FRONT 18X10.5 +15/22 REAR

Alot comes into play, mainly availabilty of tires and offset as well as camber. I havent checked all of these setups for offset but I referenced a few threads to get these options. I realy want a non stretched clean look. I want the car to handle, im not looking just for a drifting or autocross setup, I want the best all around setup for daily driving. I will track the car but mostly its a comuter car so that means I dont want a huge amount of camber, oh and I realy want my tires to be flush with the fender.

Thanks in advance
