I'm just trying to figure out if wheels that are 18x10 zero offset and 18x11 -7 will fit on a s14. I'm sure a body mod or two would be needed including rolling the fenders up front some and the rears (maybe adding some 50 overs)...I'm going to try and measure in the morning...I'm hoping they'll fit..it would be the last bit of bling for my black kouki...plus not to mention a hiding place for "vertically challenged" people in rainstorms.

Funny guy! PIcs please...

Those wheels will never 'fit'. You'll have to do some work. I think 50mm overs is a good look/idea.

50 mill over fenders will work, but you may not need more than 35 or 40, you can fit 17x10+12 under a roll and pull on an s14 as for the fronts, you may have clearance problems lock to lock with that width and low offset..and will definately have to get some wide front fenders it will look nutty as hell though if you do it right. mount the wheels w/ tires, set the car on the ground (may have to raise it if you have it lowered on coilovers) and figure out exactly what you will have to do to make them fit, try to turn the front lock to lock see where they hit. and if you decide you want to do all the body work, build the car to make the wheels fit, thats what you have to do for wheels that size anyways

well I've got stance gr pros on the car...I have no problem lowering or raising the car...I know body mod is going to be necessary never questioned that...the possible problem you addressed as far as wheel lock was what I was wondering about. Supposedly though these came off an s14 I just don't know how extensive their front fender mods were or if they modified the inner apron at all...sooo.....just maybeeeee...I used the wheel offset calculator...so I'm going to go out and make some measurements. I know the rears shouldn't really be a problem...the fronts....yeaaaaaah...have no clue. all I know is if they dont' work ...I can always have the 10's and 11's for the rear and then just order some 9's for the front..for a total of 6...I remember me and some of the guys that work at tophat once did this helicopter mechanic's car and he had gtn's somewhat similar and had 6 of them.
