Hi

Luckily the duty day ends at 5ish here in Kirkuk Iraq, as it's given me damn near 4/5 hours to search for my answer!

However after that time I seem to have searched myself through such a myriad of confusion and misinformation that even I have become confused!!!

Becuase of this I'm looking for a GOOD answer to my question...and please don' tell me to search for my answer because it's a repost etc...i'm a newb to this site but not to forums...and at this point i believe I've begun to 'search' myself into insanity!!

I'm lookin to purchase Gram Light 57pro (silver) for a black 97/98 s14. I've decided upon a 18x8 +30 for the front and 18x9 +22 for the rear...

My goal is to have a tire with a generous lip, but to remain in the stock body lines...would this offset combo achieve that goal?

Secondly would this combination clear z32 calipers???

Not sure upon tire size, but take a general one for your answer..I like having a good amount of rubber around the rim...I can't stand the stretche dlook!

Any help would be much appreciated...as for now it's time to hit the rack...another funfilled day of working on humvees tomorrow :]

Thanks guys

I would go with at least an 18x9 +22 for the fronts. 8 +30 will look weak. 9" +22 on s14 wont require fender rolling, and look nice with the stock lines.

For tires, probably a 245/255 40 setup. Z32 caliper clearance depends on spoke design, not offset, but many have the gram lights with z32 calipers.

18x9 +22 front B disk (could go +12 A disk but you don't really get any extra lip)
18x10 +22 B disk rear
