First off I did post this in the wheel fitment thread but its slowly getting lost in there with tons of other questions...
so I found some wheels that I might be purchasing however they are a little wider than my original plan for the front. It will be going on an s14 kouki (was told koukis have a little more room than zenkies?).
My fenders will be rolled but I DONT want to pull... the rears are 18.10.5+6 with a 225/40 probably and the fronts are 18x10 +12 with a probably a 215/40 or 225/40.
The rear setup im sure will work with just a roll and camber but the front is what im not to sure of...
Does anybody know for sure if it will work up front with just a roll and more camber?
Ive seen guys run even more aggressive but they had a pull also so basically I know it can be done but what will I need to do to make it fit proper...
Im also running PBM coils since ive read that different coils will give you different amounts of clearances with the rims
thanks in advance for any help

My setup is 4.5* camber front and -1 to 1.5 camber rear (drifting)
I can run 17x10 - 13 in front with a 215/45/17 I currently have 18x9.5 +12 in back and it rubs with a 225/40/18.
My front fenders and slightly pulled, but not noticeably.

I am running 17x10 0 offset with just roll and im flush just -4 camber with 235/4017 tires that are federal which run big. Kouki's are a bit wider then zenki supposedly.

Still doesn't justify it's own thread. If his post was getting lost, all he had to do was make a new post, asking the same question.

18x10+12 will definitely work with no pull. But run a 35 series sidewall.
I'm running 17x10 -20 up front flush. But -8 camber These people saying it won't work are idiots..

Should be no problem on an s14. I was running a 18x9.5 +15 with a 215/40 Feddy (runs wide) on my s13 with just a roll, and it rubbed in spots but was very easy to make drivable. You should be fine.

those specs will be fine for the fender clearance, however I don't think they will clear the coils [I've got pbm coils too]
I've run 18x10+2 and it barely cleared. and by barely, I mean about 5-8mil.
ACTUALLY, just thought of something; i'm running their mega-old 1st gen coils. they've since changed the lower mount. maybe they clear, maybe they don't. didn't clear mine. best of luck

If you wanna buy those wheels you HAVE to have the attitude that you're GOING to MAKE them fit. It will require rolling AND pulling of both the front AND rear fenders. Maybe you could retard spec stretch the tires and fuckwad the camber to -473,783,787,489 degrees, but even then it's a MAYBE without pulling the fenders. What's so terrible about a small pull on the fenders? Anyone who is competent at it can make it look nice and it wouldn't require paint.

Its funny how he's saying he's gonna roll the fenders but doesnt want a pull. You do realize that roll the thin ass front fender lips flat, w/ a roller will pretty much pull the fenders out right? Look up any picture post I have in that thread with my car, they're mostly with 18x10s up front.
Also, the whole posting in the wheel fitment thread getting lost excuse is fucking bullshit! You posted in there once asking a question 2 days ago, better yet, somebody is in the same situation as you in the same page and even replied to you...smdh...

Ive posted in that thread a few times before and can never get a solid answer, always a half ass answer or something not related.
I found a set of wheels for sale that im trying to buy and needed a solid answer sooner rather than later. Yes I posted a few days ago and got no answer. I read other peoples questions and lots of them also have no solid answers at all...
Anyways dont lose sleep over it...
