Does anyone knows if a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 (both have +35mm offset) fit on s14. I have megan coilovers. i don't want to roll the fenders. i know some people don't like big tires cause the're heavy but i just like it. i just use it for crusing. thanks

i doubt the fronts will clear coilovers. I once tried fitting 8in +35 up front and it hit my coilovers, but thats also do to me having crap *** Tein HA

Also just roll your fenders its not that big of a deal as some make it out to be

8.5" wide +35 offset will sit nicely, but will hit your coilover if your car is too low.

Hopefully you have a coilover with a tapered lower spring perch. That helps clear wide stuff. You cannot have your ride height dumped. The location of the lower spring perch is dictated by ride height with adjustable height and adjustable preload coilovers(most of the good and really good brands), so if your car isn't dumped, you can gain more clearance for bigger and wider wheels.

You could do spacers, but run a search on wheel spacers to see what people think of them.

Nobody does more than 18/19 because it starts to raise your car and you look like one of those Impala assclowns.

18s are still good for preformance if you have power.

They would still rub all over your fenderwells.

i might go with 17 or 18 then, but what is the best offset for 17 or 18 without rubbing and would clear my coilover?

Clearance is width and offset dependent. What width are you looking at? Willing to stretch tires? All of this can be found by searching.
