Wheels/tires/etc.?

Whats good people i am having some issues with this tire/wheel sizing issue ive searched and searched some more and i still dont get it so here it is. I have a 95se with 5lugs now im looking for A GOOD ALL AROUND WHEEL BASE. I need some pics, suggestions, or even someone close to me to show me there s14 with some rims. I have a full kouki conversion, dont wont to roll fenders, and i also have tein he's, and soon to come z32 brake upgrades. I want my car to look good and sit flush with my fenders without any rub. Now if anyone can help me please help dont hate thanks a bunch if you reply in a nice helping manner.

Obviously you haven't searched well enough..but here's the low down anyways.

-Always start w. the style you want. IE: Meshies, 5 spoke, 6 spoke.

-Then the size. If it's a S14 I'd go for 18's. and something wide..like +9 or +10 all around.

-Offset. If you don't know anything about offset..then there's no point of you buying rims.

-Color, Brand, ETC. This is always the simplest.

You know what's sick? 18x9 +12 F +15 R Work VS-XX In Black w. Silver Polished lip.

Thanks man, but as for spokes and stuff my options are open on that but i do like 6 spokes better. The rims you are talkin about, how many spokes are those and how much lip on them. Also do you have a pic or website i can go to 2 see them on a car or just period. And the offsets you put dwn will those work without rolling my fenders please let me no. Thanks man.

grenade gx-01's are good choice if u want 6 spoke. there is always the fn01r-c and gramlite 57. i would go 17x9 +15 around or since you have 5 lug you might consider more agressive sizes such as 10" around on rolled and pulled fenders. what is your budget?

i want to go wiyh 18's but 17's maybe better on my budget. I dont want to spend over 1300 for wheels and tires.I also dont want to roll or pull. I just need a good all around setup.

FN01R-C are your best bet for that price range along with the grenades...go with something like 17x9 Between +5 and +15 offset and roll your fenders...its not a big deal...pulling...thats a different story. A little more invlolved than rolling...

good prices on www.hopupracing.com (free ship too)
imo just get 9" +15 all around no rolling or pullin will be needed. it will look something like this

not my car
