I'm looking into these rims for my 95 s14, but I have some questions for the wheel experts or anyone familiar with the set up.
At 5zigen's website, the s14 is listed in 17in 8.5w for the front and 17in 9.5w for the rears.

I just want to make sure I won't have any clearance issues. I'm currently running tein HE coilovers with a slight drop with mild if any camber. I entered the stats into an offset calculator and came up with these results:
Front
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 7mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 43mm
Rear
Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 36mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 40mm
Does anyone know how accurate these calculators are? I would like the rim to be more flush with the fender than the current setup, but don't want the rims to stick out.
Thanks for your time and any advice you can provide.

I would trust 5Zigen's saying it fits as enough of a "its good". All the calculator jumbo sounds right, go the apply the measurements to your car to check the clearence if you really want.

9.5 +22 is safe and most 'flush'
+12 fits with good camber and some hammered wheel wells
or could go w/ recommended sizing of course.
8.5 i dont know
i think a +22 would be best (as suggested)
+30 would need spacer

17x9.5 +12, 225-45-17 all around....
fronts are rolled, rears are pulled....the rears actually sit flush because they are 17's (taller sidewall).....but when i put my 18x10 +13 on it becomes more flush
-2.5 caber in REAR, between -3 and -2 up front
no need to hammer the inner fender wells, but definately had to re-route the wiring harness if your gonna be low...
they clear my Tanabe Sustec Pro DD's by a whole lot (DD's are thicker than most Coilovers) and they also clear the Z32 brakes by literally the size of my fist...
btw, i might be selling them....

He posted some discriminatory stuff in another thread and got pinked for it. Instead of taking it like a man for 90days. He decided to make a new screen name to get around it. Which is a big no, no. Muti-screen names is a Perma-ban.
It's not your falt. I was just saying that when someone from another continent recognizes your car. You kinda just pwned yourself.

Wow that offset sits real flush. Thanks for all the input, I'll look into this a bit more. Most likely go with the recommended +22 in the front but not set on the rear offset of +38/vs +22

I like how you warned them to stop posting BS, they did stop posting in the thread, then you decided to pink them anyways almost a DAY after the warning. Way to go!!!
Anyways back on topic, go with +22 in the rear unless you want to put a REALLY meaty tire in the rear.

I did not warn anybody in that thread. I locked it and said the bans were coming. Then I talked to other mods and persons offended and came to a punishment.
The heartwork disscussion is over in this thread. Anymore posts off topic will be deleted.
I for one was deeply offended by the thread and thank you for your quick action. Hopefully any other statements or opinons concerning anything other than cars in the offtopic forum will be met by swift justice and a banning!
What about 18x9 +15?
