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!

We would normally roll the fenders or do widebody, but he wants something that will fit with no structural mods. I think his choice was a pretty good one.

Agreed. 8J is horiffic. 10J or better. Mercer sizes are #1
And staggered is not gay, eff you Jo'dan.

staggered= sucken monkey cocks.


10 +12 done. 8s are like man on man action.....ummm GAY.

why dont u want to mod your fenders?

man on man action is gay? but yea 17x10 and call it a day. no need to worry about rollin your fenders, no big deal really, watch this vid nyukka.

DIY Tire mounting is better.
10J +12 is gay

ruiz are you ****ing serious? 10 +12 gay.


go suck a mercer ****. ROFL.

ruiz will be glad to, hes mercers fanboi! haha levi doesnt show up anymore so ruiz gave up his dreams to be bff's with him. its all about Charlie now, ROFL.

STFU N00bs
- Reps for the both of you lil punks.

where is levi in this thread? slap ruiz for trading on you!

Chill out Jordy & JRD no double teaming.
Levi-sama runs man sizes with - 23874829374 offset
he is probablly busy running his shop or pWing *******s, he will be back.

or ****en mad hot broads.

wasupppppp

you kids wanna talk ****? come to cali and see wasup.

haha, i thought id make this fair and be on ruiz's side.

anyways. 10j +12 sounds too much like FN sizing.

how about some 9.5j +15, very common size with dope wheels, JIC's new wheels, M2 hanbai's wheels, CSTs...

even 9j +17 (mb motoring) is cool.

were talking about FNs...wait im confused lol.
:2gunsfiring_v1:
whats wrong with 10 +12??? sounds pretty flush to me.

9.5 +15 is pretty decent thats the least i would go.(kinda dont want the CSTs becuase of that)

Purely for ease of installation

Man-o-Man y'all bicker like a married couple, lol

just trying to look out for you.

You took the words out of my mouth. 17x9+15 around is completely flush with the fenders, none of the silly sticking out mess that you probably want to avoid

FN 17x10 +12 = roll fenders and stretch them out, they stick out like mofos on S14 and S13. We had a customer who wanted it, sold it to him w/ tires and mounted them on. They... stick... OUT... LOL

I would have to do widebody for those rims...

no you would have to oull your fenders, or get over fenders.

al right I think im going wit the 17x9's
so final thing, 235 40's or 245 40's

235/40s. 45 would go strait up. 35 would have a mild strech, better fitment.

235. ftw.

235/45... get the extra cushioning, better ride, less risk of rims bending, and less noise (for certain types of tires).

I run 245/40 in the rear, Its safer to run a slightly thicker tire if you dont want to risk bending the rims.

Basically:

Thicker tires = absorbs more of the impact from stupid potholes or sunken sewer manholes... bastards...

Im with u on that:banghead:

But can i get the 45's in wit out a rub or roll

17x9
17x10
Staggered is not gay, +45 is gay.

You know, the more I think about it, I'd like to be able to rotate them... so I think I'm going to go with the 9's
