Will these look right on an s13 with 300zx brake and s14 front suspension. Do I need to adjust for camber if lowering front by 1.6 inches.? Also would I need to roll fenders?

I don't own an S13 so I don't know what advantage you have with the S14 front suspension but on a stock S13 I am pretty sure you will have to roll and pull the front fender to fit those wheels. Tires also play a huge role in determining if the wheels will fit and how much camber you need to run

As much as I'd like to tell you to do it just because it would look amazing if done right its gonna be rough.

Front suspension would bring that to a 9.5 +2 Effective offset. Which, on a 235/40 tire would need about 4~4.5 degrees of camber to be legit flush maybe you could get away with 3.5 if you just want the tire flush. Then, beyond the roll and yanking of the front fender you would need to do you might need to hammer the front fender tub and run ~7.5 Caster but I'm not sure with that drop. (That drop is weak sauce BTW).

Rear would be easy. not even a 10mm pull with a fender roller for a 245/255 tire. at 2.8ish camber.

In conclusion... A) Get CoiloversB) Tuck treadC) Get those WheelsD) Make them fit.E) Pimp around town and the tack and be ballerF) ??????G) Profit
