I have never realy paid attention to what the specs on wheels mean.

could you tell me what each of the numbers mean when people post rim spec info?

and what offsets are and how to understand what will fit on my s14?

let the flame fest begin? :}

To help understand Terms, ENKEI has this chart:

To visualize how Offset works, This may help (Also Thank you ENKEI)

the hard way: go out to your car, figure out how much m ore you want it to stick out and how close you are willing to come to the suspension. do the math, buy a size and pray it fits.

the easy way: go to the wheel specs thread, find a fitment you like and use it as a baseline to pick your own set.
