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

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)

FN 17x10 +12 = roll fenders and stretch them out, they stick out like ***** 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.

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

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...

17x9

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

I'd say 235/40 R17 would be best. You can go 45, it wont rub.

Im looking at getting 17x9 all around on my S14. What is the perfect offset, size tires and everything? no stretch tire though. just nice looking wheels (thinking about sport max 006). i want the look lke the tires fit almost flush with the fender? Im running tein coilovers as well. and I dont want to have to modify anything.

So 17x9 +15 is the ideal size wheel? and 235/40/17 is the ideal tire size for flushness? what wheels have those sizes?
