help me for the last time (for wheels :D )

I've just saw on the ssr site the different offset
18x8 + 29 for MD brakes with 46mm lip
18x9 + 24 for Normal brakes and 72mm lip or +11 for 84mm (but +11would clear the fender?)
what is difference about the brake type?? NR or MD or HD???

MD is mid disk, HD would be high disk I believe that is refering to the Height of the pad or mounting point of the wheel.
If you have larger calipers in the front or are planning to use larger caliper you want to go with a HD high disk so that you will be able to clear the caliper.
You will need to roll your fender if you go with a +11, or you can use a lot of camber to make them fit.

blah go 18x9 18x10 and pull fenders, you'll like your car better

I can't put tires bigger than 225/40/18 here!! is the italian law!! I know that 10 on rear look lot better but I can go with a 9 max.. my trouble now is understand the difference of Normal disk, medium o high...whats it means for normal or medium??High is for Brembo/rotora ecc..?? Medium for 300Z??

Both s14s do not belong to anyone in the thread. The first one is NiteKids, second one is TougeFactory Dave's Brother's car.

mmmmmmm Nitekids. :squint:

[hotrodv]

Anyone know about disk size??

[pruto]

yeah, nightkid's s14 has become epic.

Anyone know about disk size??
HD = High Disk, which gives you the most brake clearance for bigger calipers, but has the least amount of lip.
MD = Medium Disk. Gives you a decent amount of lip and decent brake clearance.
LD = Low Disk. Gives you maximum lip with the least amount of brake clearance.

These are 16x8.5 +19 in the front and 16x9 +13 in the rear.

Before I give my 8 & 9 offset advice, have you considered 9" in the front and rear?

18x8 offset between 0 and +5 MD (unless you have larger 4-piston calipers, then go HD)
18x9 offset between +15 and +20 LD

[hotrodv]

Not a bad idea, maybe I can put on a 8.5 front (is just for haven't all the 4 wheels stretched) but with a 8.5 I can have more caliper clearence with same lip!! I think that our S14 (200sx here, stock with Sr20Det) had a 4 piston caliper on front, maybe today I make a pic and I post it..
thanx all guys!!

If I find gram light faster than the ssr , is the same thing for calculate right offset??

[Salty_X]

Definitely go High Disk for the front wheels then to clear the calipers. :)
