Im not going to do the 5lug swap, due to lack of funds and getting married. On the Zigen website the 17X8 +35 are available in the lug pattern i need. How would these look all around? and i also see they havea 17X9 with +20 offsets. would these work for the rear with 17X8 +35 up fromnt? i am really sorry to sound like a newb, but i guess i kinda am one. and get slighty confused. thank you very much, in advance.

Yeah man the 5zigens are bad *** bought mine from fast1one.
Did the research so I can stay with my 4 lug pattern and still upgrade to the 300z caliper conversion from PDM racing. These are the 17x8 with the +35mm offset. I swear I have measured it like 30 times though the width is actually 8.5" from the inner width of the rims not 8", wonder why they wouldn't calculate the extra .5"????? But OH well they sell it as 17X8 with the +35mm offset.

I got a good deal on Konig Holes 4x114.3 17x7 +45 offset. The tires on it are 215/40/17. I know its not the best offset for my S14 but at the price I got, I bought them. I really like the look of the rims and I don't intead to sell them to get new ones, at least not for the moment. There is the 5zigen typhoon that have a better offset and the same style but...
I am currently looking into buying some spacers. I was wondering what size should I get for the front and the rear to compensate for the bad offset. Any tips ?

well, on an s13 a 17x7 +5ish is flush. As we all knowe the s14 can handle bigger wheels. U have a 7 +45 minus the 30 mm spacer will put u at 17x7 +15 which on an s14 is not even gona be flush, but i think it will give u a lot beefier look.

+40 is the OEM offset, so a 15mm spacers would probably by a good choice. Not flush but might be what I am looking for. I have put an ad for those wheels, I will see what I am offered and will decide if I sell them and buy new wheels. Thx

I thought about it and I will sell my konig holes 17x7 +45 offset. I currently have Yokohama Para Spec 2
Treadwear 300 Traction AA Temperature A
215/40/ZR17 83W on it. I will keep the tires, buy some 5zigen typhoon 17x8 +35 offset all around or 17x7.5 +40 front and 17x8 +35 rear ? My tires are gonna fit the rims right ?

Ok man, first off i looked for those wheels and i cant find em to see what sizes and offsets they offer, but if all they have is what u posted, dont get them. You drive an s14, not a civic...10 inch wheels fit fine on ur car so there is no reason for this 7.5 and 8 crap..Sorry to be insulting but there are so many topics on this. Just run a 17x9 +20 all around the 4 corners and have the ability to rotate ur wheels. This size will fit fine and i would also throw a 5 or 10mm spacer on the rear, but thats just me. Just go with this size and ur tires u got will fit, they will be a lil stretched, but thats good neways. I hope this helps u out, now go get some badass wheels

Damn, Hopefully I can get some help here. I am currently trying to sell some BBS rims the 5 lug electras that come on STI's. I've had trouble selling them because the Bolt pattern is different 04 than it is 05-07. Someone that was interested in them told be the bolt pattern is 5x100 on 04 and 5x114 on 05-07 sti's. The guy at the tire shop I took them to said it was 5x4 1/2 Now I am really confused and still broke. How do I convert it to the way I've been seeing people measure them?
