i know this question might be super noob stylin'. But i have to ask before i waste my money. Im planning on buying fno1s, next i do research on the size i should get but every post i see they all have upgraded suspension with those small coilover springs.
what i wana know it what can i fit on my soon to be 5lug s14 with my stock suspension? i was thinking 17x8 n 17x9 then i thought of the 10's +12 :yum: maybe like a +25 i dont know :cry: please help
i wouldnt mine rolling or pulling a little. i really want it as flush as it can be under this circumstance :bow:

those wheels would look good if your are going for the 4X4 look on your S14 with stock suspension......... if your going to spend that much on wheels why cant u lower your car too?
BTW you do not HAVE to use coilovers to lower your car

i think u should get the coilovers or lowering springs first. rims on stock suspension looks nasty. it will have huge wheel gap
First off it's not the spring itself that causes clearance issues, it's the lower part of the coilover that causes the most issues. Most of the times shocks/springs will have less clearance issues than coilovers. So just search around here for pics and see what you like.

why would you need to roll or pull the fenders anyways the wheel and tires arnt going to be anywhere near the fenders and wheel gap = :down: :ghey:

those offsets for those widths are actually kind of conservative.
flush wheels with giant fender gap is going to look really stupid.
please reconsider so you don't embarass us NJ 240sx owners.

if you are definately getting coilovers then you are asking the wrong question. You should be asking which offset and width would look good on your car when you have it at whatever desired height your going for. B/c an offset that is flush with the fender with stock suspsension will NOT be flush once you lower it.

it'll fit, if it doesn't, there's always spacers/longer studs
and as everyone already mentioned, it'll look ghey w/ stock susp.

maybe you don't realize this but flushness is relative to the person, you'll have varying opinions of what exactly is 'flush.' u better go out to your car and measure exactly where you want the wheel to sit. even at that, it's never an exact science.
the one thing we all agree on is that you shouldn't get wheels b4 u fix suspension. *sigh*... oh well.
