I have them on my s13 and i had to put 11mm spacers on.

Didn't think they would rub on s14 though. If you put too many spacers, you may need longer wheel studs.

I have new ones. They'll be pressed in for the next autox season. The rust on them is only surface rust, however. Comes right off with a stiff brush. Only reason I'm replacing is because I run spacers during autocross and would rather be safe than sorry.

For the S14, the fronts are Moroso, with a slightly larger knurl than stock. Once you go to them, you're pretty much stuck with them. The rears are ARP. My front and rear lugnuts use different threadings. IIRC the fronts are 7/16 -20 and the rears are 12x1.5.
