will these wheels fit? s14 (kouki)

[Nav2k]

Hi All,

Just wondering if i need to roll my rear guards for these wheels to fit?
They are
rear: 18x9 +26
front: 18x8.5 +26

I'm fairly sure fronts will fit fine..should i run a spacer?

The car is on some apexi shocks with kingsprings (super low at front, lows at back).

This is currently what it looks like with 17x9 +36 all round.

I think my fronts have already been rolled from the previous owner...there's no "L" on the metal when i touch under there..on the rear there is.

Also what tyres should I run for these new wheels? Stretching 235's on for the rears would help them fit?

thanks for any help

stick your finger and see if you have 10mm of clearance. done.

Should fit, just make sure the fronts will clear big brakes if you have them. Id slap some spacers on those just to get them closer to the fenders too. 15-20mm all around would be dandy...

They'll fit with no fender modifications.

great! thanks for the responses guys
i didn't know i could just check for 10mm clearance because im going to a bigger wheel size as well.

flip: you mean chuck spacers on the new wheels? wont 15-20mm for the rears be too much? I'd definetly like to push it out as much as possible.

The new wheels i got are work vskf's which have an O-disk face...but I'm running stock calipers anyway so that won't be a problem I'm pretty sure..

you wont get stretch with 235 on a 9" wheel.

[yokotas13]

you can push it 10mm on the rear but you might need a roll

there are minor differences with a change in wheel diameter, but tires are often a bigger factor. the change won't be exactly 10mm but it will be damn close.

really? I thought quite a few ppl do it..
Im running 255/45/17 at the moment...guess I could just 255's again. thanks mate

thanks yokotas13, 10mm with a roll sounds do able.

Thanks cdlong, i guess from everyones responses it'll fit..

[OptionZero]

if u go 255's you'll need a roll and camber depending how low you go

235 is a stretch in a 9, but only a little

That 9J +26 with 20mm spacer will make it +6. The outer side of the rim will sit about the same as my FN01 on my S14. 10j +12. Alot of S14 guys run those rims with roll and slight pull +15mm spacers, then maybe no pull at all would be needed. :bigok:

You'll be fine, those offsets will be great!

i run 235/40/17 in the front on my 17x8 +23 and 255/40/17 on my 17x9 +35

can u post a pic of ur s14's blackzenki and flip?
really appreciate it. if you guys have shots highlighting the width it'd be great, if not anything is fine (apart from your sig pic i mean :P )
cheers

blackzenki: ur not running spacers are you?
i think i might look for 15mm spacers for a bit of roll and wont require pulling once i see how they sit without and modifications.

[fliprayzin240sx]

That was on my old car, thats probably a bad example cuz i went nuts on those fenders. My current S14s running Work Equips 18x9 +22 with 13mm spacers right now to clear Z brakes up front and 10J +22 with 8mm spacers in the rear...

I am running a 15mm spacer up front, but the wheels offset in front is +38 so with a 15mm spacer it effectively makes it a +23 offset ;)

Here are some pics though.

If you look for my posts under the "post pics of your ride" thread, you will find some more. Click on my name then click on "other posts by this user" just look for the photo posts.

They'll fit, but get at least a 25mm spacer all around to make them fit nicer.

[Nav2k]
