18x9(f) and 18x10(r) what offsets do i need?

[handdrag]

i have a s14 kouki with tein HE coilovers, with a basic fender roll on the rear. i am getting custom made wheels done by CCW and they need to know what offsets i am gonna need to fit those sizes with those coilovers. if you guys could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, charles

you may want to try the suspension, wheel and tire section. It will depend on what camber and flushness you want to run too.

For a stock body...

9" front will require MAX of +25 to clear coilovers...I'd run +15, and you'll be able to use 245 width tires easily...255's as a max.

For the rear...to match a 9", +15 front wheel...you'd need a +28 on a 10" wide wheel. That will require a couple degrees of camber a fender roll (no pull)...pretty simple to fit.

FWIW, on my S14 - I run 17X9, +25 on all 4 with Tein HE...235 front tire, 255 rear...fits fine. I used to run 245/40-17s on all 4, so you know you can use 245s up front, especially if you order with less offset than my wheels.

Here's a thread I came across on Zilvia...he's running 18X9, +20 and 18X10, +20...but with a weak tire combo (225 F, 245 R).

There's a good shot of the rear clearance on his car with the skinny 245 rears...that partially illustrates why I reccomended a +28 (to fit more tire).

BTW, CCW are great wheels...I have numerous friends with Supras running those. Love 'em.
