Seriously, don't be lazy, gang. I wanna see some pics of the s14's.

I think I might have to get in on some 17x8.5's....

8.5 +15 and 8.5 +25 will clear coilovers in the front... 9.5 +30 will not, you'll need to use spacers.

8.5 +15, 8.5 +25, and 9.5 +30 will all clear coilovers in the rear.

So these sizes will work with close to stock camber settings, right? F 17x8.5 +25 and R 17x9.5+30. Will it be flush in the rear if I roll the rear fenders? I plan on doing it anyway.

Who's being lazy

There are pics in the 1st group buy and on their site:

I just wish they made all those sizes for their R33 knockoffs.... in black

I am curious why people that ordered 17x9.5's and 17x8.5's aren't going with a wider tire? I just ordered 17x8.5's +30 for the rear. I plan on running a 275/40/17 drag radial with these rims. How come everyone else got like 225 or 235? Didn't want as much tire in the back or...am I missing something? I mean if people just didn't want wide tires I can understand that but is there a different reason why people didn't get wider?

im getting 215/40 for my 17x8.5 in front and 225/40 for 17x9.5. for me, id like to reduce sidewall flex to get better reponse in cornering (im not much of a drag racer). i think everyone is getting smaller size tires for the same reason.

drift_newbie

If I want to pick up a set of these for my s13 hatch, and I'm not against rolling the rear fenders, what offsets would I want for the 8.5" front and rear to be flush?

Thanks,

HiPsi check your pm and mail

dammit Salty, those wheels are sooo nice. I went to the TF site and am pondering them as well. I've been dreaming of 17s with a 215 front stretched tire and 235 rear stretched tire. So hot. Congrats man. Can I touch them at the San Jose meet? hehe.

The only have one offset for 16x8.5 but 2 offsets for 17x8.5....+25 and +35

You're right, my bad. The +35 and +37 isnt as flush and I guess is intended for the rear wheels in a staggered setup. Kind of bad if you want to run 16x8.5 all arround because you couldnt clear coils without a spacer.

HiPSI

very nice pics salty.... love wingless coupes (still wish mine didn't have one)

so what's so CHEAP about the SR swap again?

Does anybody notice on M2's website, they don't have a single pic of the rim on an S14 rear? Both galleries (16" and 17") only show how the front looks. I don't consider the side shot of the yellow S14 accurate since they used 45mm spacers to get that 16x8.5 all around look.

I am wondering how a 17x8.5 all around setup would look on an S14, and what kind of offset would make it look flush plus clear Z brakes + coilover. Any ideas?

Ranger_Man

i know these are late but better late than never! i finally got my tires on this last thursday and now i have pictures for you s14 owners









17x8.5 +25 front with 235/45
17x9.5 +30 rear with 255/40
all with tein HEs

some information for you s14 owners:

the rears were rubbing the outer fender just EVER so slightly so i had to roll them. other than that they are absolutely perfect. they also still have what looks like a 1.5" clearance between the tire and the coilover.

the fronts are a bit more picky. i am rubbing the inner fender linings just barely so im just going to remove all of the plastic POS. however, the tires clear the HEs but they are mighty close to them. since i do quite a bit of open lapping im having a 4mm plate spacer made just to move the tire a little bit more away from the coilover. im doing this as i am kinda worried about the tire flex while really pushing the car around the corners. the spacer should also bring the fronts out just a little more and make them look like the rears.

other than that they are really nice rims. are they better than my ideal professor sp1s? well obviously no, but the price/satisfaction ratio definately makes these rims worth it.

mixxamike

Thanks a lot, Ranger Man!!! You car is my car save for those sweet azz rimzzz. I so hope touge factory decides to do another group buy. Oh, and by the way, you car looks soooooo nice!
