think it will look good. i got stance coilovers so i can adjust the height to make them sit flush, but you think the spacers will give it a hard looking stance, thats really what im looking for.

I love the white on black combo!!

I think you should go for some better offset black wheels instead of those BBS wheels. Your kouki looks slick!

those are all nice but i dont want to be like everyone else. ive always liked mesh wheels but ive only seen them on s13's so i want to try something different, maybe start a new trend. If the color scheme im describing is hard to picture, i found a picture, all you have to do is imagine it on the kouki. i think it would look sexy as f*** sitting flush on the car. lmk what you guys think:



man i think it would look SOOOO nice

17x9 +20.

Not the best picture, but it's very flush all the way around.

^ thank you for mounting properly sized rubber

EDIT: The BBS wheels may look ok- especially in the color scheme you posted. Spacers will definitely be required for those offsets.

The offset will be fine. Will be a little sunken in up front but the rears will be flush, if not stick out a little with no camber. Get em.

ive seen that before. and its not purple that im going for, its blue, but thats the closest picture i could find. the rear will sit flush i know that for sure but ill get some spacers for the front and ithink it will look dope. im decided im getting them, but it will take a little while before i get them painted how i like and on the car. Im gonna start a build thread so ill let you guys see how its going. thanks

Nope, no spacers. The camber is set at -1 degrees all around (for DD). And I have Falken Azenis 225/45/17 all around. To me they look a bit sunken in.

The reason I say to get better offset wheels, is because your fronts are +35 you will need to run 10mm spacer, which mean you will have to extended your studs. I choose wheels so that I don't have to add spacers. But to each his own.

17x8's on an S14 is for p******, I run 17x9 +15 front and 17x10 +12 rears.

If you want to get wheels that will fit without modification or rediculously strecthed tires go 17x9 +20 all around with a 235/45-17 tire.

The force is not strong enough in this one, he is not ready.

If you want to get wheels that will fit an S14 without modification or rediculously strecthed tires go 17x9 +20 all around with a 235/45-17 tire.
