i running a pair of 5zigen FN01r-C 17x10 +35 with 255 40 17s in the rear of my s14. i now want to get 2 front rims for my car. i was thinking about getting the 17x9 +15 but im afraid that rim might stick out further than my 17x10 +35 in the rear. it would just look stupid to have a front rim sticking out more than the rear so what should i do? be safe and get 17x8 +25? i dont have rolled fenders at all either

Tough decision.The offset calc says the 17x9 +15mm will stick out an extra 7mm. Not bad, but I dont know if they'll fit under stock fenders.

The 17x8 front and 17x10 rear might be Too staggered. A nice setup would be 17x8 +25 front and 17x9 +15 rear.

why would you want to increase your track that much in the front, with no real increase in the rear? stick to the 17x8 +25, at least then its resonsably close.

also, S15 a better setup would be a 1x8 25mm and 17x9 25mm, keeping the track difference the same as nissan left it, and keeping your scrub radious and wheel rates closer to spec.
