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


Why the hell not........that makes no sense to make a statement like that.........and I personally feel that 10' on the front would look pretty weird........that's just my opinion......No Disrespect....

ugh... thats horendous. Horrible offset. Thats mexican style. The wheels come out farther than the body, and the tires are stretched horribly out of proportion.


God these JDM fads need to die.

The offset is awsome. the lip of the rim is right at the fender and the tires are likly streched cause people who drift dnt want to buy new 255s or bigger all the time

that would work but again a 9j with a 0 offset would work. Buy the wheels you want and make they car fit them roll/pulling is cheap or free.

punching out the metal in the wheel well to make room for a wider wheel/tire.

www.google.com would be a good place to look for your self.

put it is exactly what it sounds you roll the little lip in your feder up for more clearance and the you pull them out so they are wider. You can rent a rool to do it or take it to a body shop and it will still be cheap
