You can fit 9s in the front...possibly have to roll/pull the fender.

10" to 10.5" in the rear....MIGHT have to roll/pull fenders...matters on how the offset is. You can also run some negative camber and that can take care of the rolling of the fender....possibly.

what kind of offset are we talking here? How much would u guess to minimize rolling?

i would not stagger sizes personally on a S chassis. with an s14 you can do 10j's are all 4 corners you will need to roll/pull the fenders a bit but its free or cheap to do

10" - 10+ to 15+(rear)
9" - 5+ to 18+ (front)

Matters on if its a deep dish rim, if so how deep or its not deep.

the offset matters on
1) If its a deep dish

If so how deep it is(the farther in it is the lower the offset) Sorry I'm not explaning it well....I suck at explaning things

never seen 10" on the front. would love to see that.

if you go too staggered you are going to hurt performance. best set up is 9" rear and 8.5" front

i just like the way staggered wheels look.. here are some 9.5j's and you can esily find anothe rhalf inch in room by having your fenders pulled a bit
