^^ agree. too small for lowering springs, imo zenkis need somewhat bigger wheels, 17s or 18s can look good

Ummm, stock SE wheels are 16's... :poke:

Go with something like 18x9.5+15's. 17's only look good if you're dumped super low....

I had 18x7.5 :slap: It looks too high though. i cant afford coilovers right now so i thought id get a smaller WIDER rim. I want it to be low and look good with the stock body. Ive looked at hundreds of pics and searched and searched.... idk what to do.

Just google 18x9.5 FN01RC and click the google shopping link, then sort by lowest price.

Edit: If you're looking at the 4 lug wheel thread, Imma assume you are 4 lug. In that case, the best FN01RC size available for 4 luggers is 17x9+20. They cost about $210 each. Lightest 4 lug wheel of that size on the market.

If you want something cheaper, I'd say go for the 17x9+20 XXR 006's. They're like $120 a piece.

Yeah, get the XXR 006's in 17x9+20. Make sure you get the best price though. That link I posted is the lowest I've seen.

you need coils, but 16s can be clean on a s14 as long as theyre good offset

For 17x9+20? Depends on the look you want. Personally, i'd go 235/40/17 all around. But you sound like you're into all that hellaflush ish... so, 215/40/17 and 235/40/17 for you once you slam the car.

BTW, plz do not put overfenders on your car with that strut/spring setup... :facepalm:
