whats up guys. this would be my first post :loco:. im finally investing in a new set of front wheels, and im not really sure what to get. i searched all of the old threads and couldn't find anything clear for my particular setup.
anyway, i have an s14 with apexi coilovers. im not going to roll the fenders, and i dont want any rubbing. im going with the 5zigen fn01rc's. whats the max width/tire size/offset on 17"'s that i should go with without rubbing?
any info is greatly appreciated, thanks!

ive seen a few poeple with 17x9 +27? yeah sounds about right. you should be good. and you will get flamed for having those wheels. i wont because i own a set myself and i think its BS that people flame those wheels but seems like they see the same thing on the internet and say everyone has them but im the only one i know in my area that has even heard of them so i dont give a shit. just for reference i have 17x8 +35 up front and they fit really nice. theres room for another inch MAX without rolling. i think you would have to run stretched tire maybe some camber. hope this helps

depends on what tire size.. camber and if yu are willing to run some camber tomake the wheels fit.

ch1873857| thanks a lot for the info. i was thinking about 17X8 +35 too...
the240sxer95| unfortunatly my ghetto apexi world sport coilovers dont have any camber plates on them =[. im planning on changing my suspension setup sometime in the future but 215's arent really cutting it right now for me.
Steeles| i'll check that out
thanks for the replies
