I'm sure you guys have seen this subject way too often but for some reason I'm not able to find any info on it. And yes, I've done my fare share of searching. Any ways, on to subject. I sold my 04 Cobra and I'm now working on my 1995 240sx se (going back to school and don't need a car note). So I'm lowering it about 1.5 inches with Tokico struts shocks and springs( http://www.amazon.com/Nissan-Tokico-Sho ... B005EN58E6 ) I'm wanting to run 18x9.5 rota grid bronze rims all around. Now if I run a 245X35 tire on said rims am I going to have bad rubbing? Here's a link to the actual rims I'm wanting to buy ( http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/produc ... ts_id=5722 ). I'd go to an 8.5 or 9 and smaller tire if I could find some Grids that size in Bronze. I know you guys probably hate Rota but I'm not going to be racing this car... yet. Thanks for any help, guys! Oh and if I'm doing anything wrong let me know, import world is a crap ton different than the muscle world.

Easiest way is to search for a tire/wheel calculator. You can plug in your current wheel/tire and your future one. It will tell you how much the setup is going to change (inward, outward, height, etc). You can then measure on your current setup to see if it will hit anything.

Also can search wheel/tire fitment sites to see examples of the wheel/tire you are looking for on your car.

Yea, I'm still trying to find some info on it. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have any problems in the rear, it's the front that I'm worried about. Like if I'm going to have to roll my finders or not.

I know 235 is usually the max most people go with a S13 in the front before pulling the fenders. The S14 should have a little more room, so would think it would be ok.
