S14_Adam · 03-21-2012, 03:07 AM

ok but i mean how do u calculate that? like i wanna get the ssr professor sp1s in 18's with an offset that looks aggressive nice wide wheels but nothing to tucked or too hellaflush. just nice stance with beefy looking tires on nice rims that dont leave much wheel well.

You can use the search button or check that sweet ass wheel fitment questions thread.

S14_Adam · 03-21-2012, 03:15 AM

see i tried the search button but that krap always says try another search in 25 seconds and then i wait and it says enternal server error over and over and over. and how do i find this wheel fitment thread lol just under tech talk?

It's in chat man... Most S14 owners are running in the 9" +twenties and 10" +teens F/R respectively. Mid to high +twenties in the rear will keep you from having to roll/pull too much out back. now go to chat and look for said thread.

240dream · 03-21-2012, 11:52 AM

maybe go with a 10" with mild offsett and space to your liking

Question: "What offsets are people running on S14's these days?"

Answer: "All of them."

killer skittle · 03-21-2012, 03:18 PM

Track use, daily.
S14 Stock metal
Front: 18x9.5 + 12 (225/40/18; Nitto Invo)
-Fenders rolled, small newspaper pull.
-Zero toe
- -1.8* camber
Rear: 18x10.5 + 15 (255/35/18; Nitto Invo)
-Fenders rolled only.
- -0.03* toe
- -1.7* camber

Misc notes: Full spl arms, Toe, tension , camber, tein flex coils.

Your welcome. This is a forum. If everyone posted saying "search" then there would be no information available and this whole forum would be useless.

^ A waste of wheel widths if you ask me. I ran 255's on my 8.5's...

Te37 · 03-21-2012, 05:52 PM

^Cool story bro. But what are you gonna do when you want to run a 295? Buy more wheels? As soon as I get my overs molded I'll run moar tire. Nitto invos run pretty meaty, they are pretty square IMO.

jr_ss · 03-21-2012, 06:39 PM

Te, who are you talking too?

Te37 · 03-21-2012, 06:50 PM

I was responding to you and killer skittles comment. Killer skittle has got wide rim so he can run small or big tires. You already tapped out your wheels with a 255. With a 10.5 you can run a lot of width. I have 10.5 in rear and I run 255's as well when I get my over fenders molded I will put moar tire on there. I should have said I'm running 10.5/255 also.

jr_ss · 03-21-2012, 07:38 PM

The guy is obviously not looking to do overfenders... So who cares about that aspect of your response? I said I ran 255's, I no longer run that width, and have wider wheels but I was stating the point of stretching a tire "just to fit". I sure as hell won't be stretching a tire to just to fit it... Its completely useless and doesn't belong on a performance car, I'm a max tire kind of guy, not a stance Nazi... To each their own.
