are you using coilovers or...? Would you be rolling/pulling your fenders, fender flares? Did you want to use one of those sizes for the fronts and backs, or mix and match? Just some more information would help us help you.

I dont't know how you'd do alot of fender rolling... But it wont need a pull if thats what your asking.

Um, no.

First off, your stock s14 rims are sunk like a ship, so you don't need to pull 2".

At about 1 degree camber, the rim will stick out approx 1/2"-1". at 2 degrees camber, should be very close to flush w/ just a roll and pull (as result of the rolling, so not very much pull).

That is x9 +17

You can't go much higher offset than that - x9+20 about as high as you want to go - to clear coilovers.
