Noob wheel ?
 

Alright so I have wheel knowledge of a small gnat, so I'm just going to ask straight up.
Can I fit <On a '96 S14>
-Front 17"x8, Rear 17"x8
-Front 225/45/17, Rear 235/45/17

Without any modification
AND
Would that be a good choice Stylistically and performance wise?

((The rims are 5-Zigen FN01R-C if that makes a difference))

u can fit that easy on an s14 and have a ton more space unless u have a crazy offset then you would have to mod the fenders

A ton more space in what direction
and how should it be filled, wider tires?
What I want is a decently large rim with a decently sized tire. I want it to be good with a basic coilover lowering, and I dont want it to leave the side of the wells.
I need to do some searching I guess

id say decently nice for a s14 17x8 front 17x10 in rear with a nice offset, now this is my opinion some people like 18" wheels on s14 but i like 17".

now what you have to really research is offset. Offset is the most important part of deciding on a wheel offset can make or brake the wheel now research and choose wisely.

yea, of what I've read I think I'm going to go with 17's.
So ur saying 17x10's wont rub?
And the (225- Front// 235-Back) will be good then?

yea 17x10 wont rub s14 have ALOT of space and tire sizes is your opinion 235 if you like stretched tires.

i personally like wide tires my 17x9 has a 275 when i order my new rims 17x10 im getting 300/35 r17 i like the look of big fat tires but thats my opinion

Yea im a fan of the fat ones as well, like I said im shooting pretty much at random
So Final Call?
Rear= 17x10 255/40R17 (Offset-12 or 35)
Front=17x8 255/40R17 (Offset-43)

Good to Go?

No that front offset is garbage.
17x10 +12 rear 235's 40
17x9 +15 front 225's 40 ...thats good to go!

As long as the 17x9's don't rub??
I'm happy wit it

10s all around, staggered is gay. just pull your fenders out then it wont rub. easy enough.

or better yet 17x9 +15 225's 40 all the way around

please get the 17x10 +12, thats the only way those wheels will look good.

alls you have to do is get a baseball bat and a friend to roll the car, while u pry the fender with the bat....its that easy. It will look so much better.

yes that is a really good safe size, no fender modifications required. you could even go with 245/40 tires around. stay away from large staggers liike 8/10 unless you can back it up with alot of power, because that is going to give you a crap load of understeer if you have decent sized tires and a stock ka. it's nice to avoid staggering so you can rotate tires. 17x8 +43 will not work in the front, you will need 10mm wheel spacers atleast so that the wheels do not rub the struts.

17x9 +15 is a really nice set up for S14. But Im personally going with 18x9.5 +12 all around. Special project going on... LOL

17x10 +12, done. all around nyukka. rolling and pulling fenders is nothing. youll have a dope ass ride with those sizes. 17x8 is "weak like a small child" haha MERCER!
