If u drop ur car jus a lil bit (i.e. not slamming the car to the ground) u can fit those rims into any Silvia chassis. I've seen 18 x 9.5 in the front and 18 x 10.5 in the rear. So ur pretty much ok with the rims u have.

The Motosports Dynamics' S14a (Hubert's S14a) is running the Gram Lights 57pros (18 x 9 front, 18 x 10 rear) they're not flush, but the give the S14 more of a curvature to the wheel well area that makes it look perfect. The front has the M-Sport fenders which have a bubble fender flare designed into it. The rims match the car's design so well.

Check out Hubert's site:

www.willraceforfood.com

Look at the pics he posted up, the rims look really nice on there.
But also, remember that theres an offset. the Offset makes a big difference in how far in or out the rims will sit. I think Hubert's 57pros have an offset of + 37 front and rear.

What about if you put on the fender flares onto a Fastback, how wide can you go on those w/o fender rolling/pulling.

theres no point on putting a fender flair if your going to leave the fenders stock. most people i know cut the stock fenders when putting on wider rear fenders.
