Im getting new wheels for my s14 to replace my 18s, these are going to be 18x9.5 +25 I have tein plates, tokicos, and tanabe df210 springs. What will I need to clear in the front? I think its +15 or lower for coils, im never gonna run coils on this car though. Anyone know for shure/

Agh, offset questions like this are so annoying...
Get a ruler, we all have one, measure clearance on your current wheels.
Input info into "offset calculator" that has been posted 8,972,023 times.
Now you've got a pretty good idea if they fit, and no BS forum guessing.

Offset calculator (http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html)

Now a 9.5 +25 will be 23mm closer to the strut than a stock SE wheel, just input whatever offset your current wheels are, use trusty ruler to see if the new ones will fit.

They'll fit with std shocks just fine.

You're correct +15mm is the min for coils.

Kind of off topic, but how do you like those tanabe springs? How's the ride? How's the drop?

Any pics?

Koukikat I know all about offset and offset calculator. Ruler idea is no good when I can barely fit my fingers back there. I know it will be tight but with 225 might fit just needed others experience. Thanks for trying to help anyway

ieatrice and dousan thanks ,just what i wanted to hear ,apprecate it :bow:

Dee good for daily drive,2in drop. I have s13 for drift/track so this is the soft car.
