s14 w/ NA Z rims

[ogiepokes]

I have an S14 with coilovers, 5 lug swap and z brake upgrade.
I know I will need spacers for the fronts to clear, but what size?
Also, would getting 215/45 be better than 225/50?
Oh, do I need different size lug nuts? or just more since I am 5 lug swapping.
I appreciate any help, and if this is a played out question, please direct me to the FAQ or similar thread, thanks for any help.

i think its a 5mm spacer you will need, maybe 4mm. as for tires, the 215/45s are narrower and not as tall. i'd go with fatter wider ones in the back, and a little smaller in the front. as for lug nuts, im not sure/ you might just need more.

Thanks for the advice.
I went to the local O'Reilly's, they will have 10mm spacers tomorrow morning for me, so if you said I need 5mm spacers if I get 10mm, I don't have to compromise tire size letting me stick with 245/50s all around? But, will 10mm spacers need longer studs? I think these are all the questions I have....for now. Thanks for the help megaseth.

yes you will need longer studs!!!! Do not put those on with stock studs! nothing over 6mm with stock studs. Nismo makes good studs.

okay, so can I do this:
get 5mm spacers up front and keep the 245/50 and fit the z rims over coilovers? Or should I go with a smaller tire: 215/45?

[ogiepokes]

how about this:
205/55 with 5mm spacers up front
225/50 in rear

would this clear?

[ogiepokes]

Yep, clears with a little room.
Oh, if anyone would like stock s14 suspension, front and rear hubs(4 lug), knuckles, calipers and rims and tires(4 lug) let me know.
