just want to know what would be a recommended tire size to put on a stock body s14 . i have a fender roller but dont want to actually flare the fenders. (just a slight roll)

rim size 18x9 +20
18x10.5 +25
i was thinking 225 40...and 255 40

pls dont say do research ive looked a ton of threads on multiple forums and its just opinionated. and havent found pictures of the same sizes. i understand what you would be giving is opinions but hopefully i get a little more here than just google search.

It'll depend on how low you are. I have 235/40 18 on 18x9.5+20 up front, didnt even require a roll. Rears will though. I needed to roll to get my 245 40 to fit.

Perfunctory Google search brought me to this post:

(it is #6 in that thread) and suggests that you got it about right.

More searching will net you the same results, I promise you.

ok well as i was going to merchants and a wholesale shop around here i ran into 2...225/45/18 pilots slightly used (free) and two continentals 245/40/18 which have alot of tire left for 50. each. but have the money set aside to buy whatever tire i want. whatcha think?
