17x9.5 inch wheels on an S14?
17x9.5 inch wheels on an S14?
I want to run a 265 profile tire on 17x9.5 inch wheels on all fours, what would it take (fender rolling, overfenders) to make this work without rubbing and would a +12 or +22 offset be better all around or should I go +22 in the front and +12 in the back? Also they will be run on coilovers i'd like to drop it about 2 inches if I can.
Now I'm new to this...
But I'm running 17X9 +20 all around without any rub on stock suspension. I'd have problems with coils for sure. I think the +22 in the front with a possible fender roll and +12 in the back would be fine. I'm quite sure you'd need a roll in the back as well.
Those are some beefy wheels! What kind are they?

Re: (Zetec)
depending on how low you are, you might have a really hard time fitting 265's up front on stock fenders, esp considering you'll be running 9.5"s...
As far as which offsets to go with, I'd go with a +12... only becuase I don't think a 9.5" +22 will clear coilovers (at least they dont with s13's. I'm not too possitive with s14's). The rears you dont have to worry too much. you can probably go with the +22 just for the sake of not having to go with wider fenders or having to do any major pull.
Heres some pics to consider just to show where the rim will sit:
heres a pic of a 9.5" +12 (215/45/17)... so try to imagine where a 265 will look like. I'd say it would bulge out about half an inch past the width of the wheel.
