Yea yea I know, everyone's tired of FN's on 240's, but they're good wheels, and I really like this finish.

specs man?
to tell you the truth, they look like week sauce....looks like you could of went more staggared in the rear....especially with fn's.
But thats what I would do.....

Uhh, I guess YOU call that hardcore.....I dont,Ive seen way more staggared fn's fit especially on a s14.....but thats just me and the style I preffer.

My guess is 17x9+15

IMO should have went with the 17x10+12 in da back.

Even though they're the most common wheels on 240's in my opinion, I still think they look great. I really like the finish you chose also...

Update us on how you like the avons while your at it, i have been looking at picking up a set for a while now.
Why rock uber-offsets and mega-wide widths if you have no need for them? A 10inch wheel in the rear of my s14 is a overkill that would hinder my driving and kill my bank account.

Specs are 17x9 +35 in the rear with 255's and 17x8 +25 in the front with +25's.

EDIT: 17x10's do seem a little overkill unless you're tracking the car alot, which I'm not unfortunately.

because some people would rather look fast than actually be fast...but I guess people like you and me are just "weak sauce"

thanks for posting this....im looking to upgrade soon as well.
what are you running for suspension? how close is the rubber to susp?
any chance of fitting larger than 255's out back with that wheel?

sorry for all the questions....i dont look into this stuff too often.

your car looks great btw :bigok:

looks great guys, nice rides too. I run dt05rs on my s13 hatch and mine are 7.5 up front and 8.5 out back (can't fit the wheel s14s can :() and i run 245/45 al the way around. I like the 'anti-drift' tire sizes as well. Good choice.

'anti-drift' tire sizes.

Just so I know, what are anti-drift tire sizes?

I think both of your cars look good. It's flush, it fits, you can run the right size tires. I like the streched look, but I like it for other peoples cars lol.

Not really. All he is referring to is a nice wheel without a stretched tire on it.

Not everyone necessarily *wants* to run enormous tires in the rear....

Especially with an NA KA, it makes it pretty tough to get sideways if you've got well-shod 9 or 10 inch wheels back there.

If the difference between the rear tire size and the front tire size is TOO severe, you might begin to experience some understeer as a result. This of course depends on how other parts of your car are set up.

Regardless, that's a very nice setup you have there, and a nice white Kouki.

I think I'll likely go with the same sizes in whatever wheels I end up buying, or at least something similar.

you hurt my feelings....

so I'm guessing most people on here are against anything other than 205s stretched on 9 inch wide wheels and anyone who dares to be different would be entitled to some flaming.
IMO 245 on 8.5 is a good "anti-drift" size, a little too much for 7.5 inch wide wheels though.
