Wheel offset question

I suck at this whole offset business..

Would these wheels clear stock s13/14 brakes:

Size: 15x8
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5
Offset: -19
Rear Spacing: 3.75

Size: 16x8
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5
Offset: 0
Rear Spacing: 4.5

If so would I need longer wheels studs?

I do not have the slightest clue with the whole fitment and what not. I wasnt sure if they had enough back spacing.


How will the fitment look on a s14? Sit in or out? Perfect?


Where can I buy longer studs at a decent price?

check in the wheel fitment sticky thread. i doubt youll find many people using 15 and 16" wheels tho, thats what will look like ass.
for a great deal on longer studs, such as Nismo (what i used) or ARP, search. doesnt take much time.

offset has nothing to do with brake clearance.
the design of the wheel's "face" is what would affect brake clearance.
also, NEITHER offset NOR wheel design will require you to install longer wheel studs. if you needed to install wheel spacers to clear your brakes or to push the wheels farther away from the coils/springs etc then you might require longer wheel studs.

like previously stated, for the answer to this question, you should look @ the posts/pictures of other people who have run similar set ups.

Question Wheel experts, need help with offset on Work and SSR rims!

Hope its ok that I borrow your thread man, cause I'm totally blanked on this section also, and badly need some help from you guys out there!

I have a simple stock body S14a with Tein Flex coilovers, and I need some help with offsets on Work Meister S1 and/or SSR Professor SP-1 in 18inch!

What to choose? If you see my list under here, I found these cars and sizes on rimtuck.com, but which offset should I go for? My car is a daily btw, and I dont have any plans of stylingkit...

Work Meister S1 3 piece

• (Front) 18x9,5 +3 and (Rear)18x10 +12 (#296)
• (Front) 18x9,5 +1 and (Rear) 18x10,5 +12 (#634)
• (Front) 18x9 +5 and (Rear) 18x10 -5 (#387)
• (Front) 18x9 +16 and (Rear) 18x10 +18 (#401)

SSR Professor SP-1

• (Front) 18x10 +16 and (Rear) 18x10 +24 (#260)
