Okay, I'm trying to think how will it look if I was to roll on some 19" Work wheels on my S14. Currently, I have 18" SSR but I can't lower it no more because of my body kit.....scrapes. I was wondering if I was to run some 19" I can lower it until my tires sit behind the fenders.....hehe.

I want to know if anyone rolling on 19" and if so, what size/offset are you guys running? I currently have 18x9+16 and 18x10+24. I also have 15mm wide fenders up front....

help me out all!! thanks

19s will not raise your car unless you run a tire/wheel diameter bigger than stock. If you are who I think you are, and your red S14 is the one I've seen personally, then 19s with proper fitment would look awesome on your car.

I have a full Vertex kit with Vertex wide body fenders up front.... good enough? or should I go with wide rears too?....I kind of want to keep the rear simple. If I find out that 19 will look nice on my car, I will be selling my SSR's.....

It's all about offset and ride height when you're rocking 19s, and well, you can fix the whole ride height deal, but offset is Bismark status, uber sunken.

That last picture is just gorgeous. Herb Real was the one with the 19's on his red hatch..dudes a frickin' baller.

Those 2 cars define wheel fitment at its finest.

I saw the thread. Ignore the useless posts and take into consideration only the posts that actually gave info. On Zilvia, it's all about filtering posts.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna go with 19" all around. I thought about 18/19 combo......since a lot of people told me to go with that......but to achieve true baller status, 19" on all four is the way.

LOL. Don't look up to me.....I think I'm just being unpractical..... I know the 19's in the front will probably rub my tire like crazy and may burn my power steering pump off......but I still think it's worth it!!! LOL!!

I think you can run the wheels for little longer...... Do you think I can have it by next week Friday? I got a job out in offshore platform so I'll be busy for a while....let me know.

Yeah, your PS pump won't like you, but nothing adding a PS pump cooler won't fix.

Okay..... "if you need to ask, 19's aren't for you" , "lol thats like asking what a ZJ is" , "not a fan of 19s at all" ....... these are some of the comments I got. I don't call this "HAVING MORE EXPERIENCE" than me...... they are just stupid comments they had to add because they don't see the big picture of building something different. I rather build my car different and original to my own taste than to be an ordinary S14..... All I asked was if it's possible to fit or not.

Okay whatever you say. Just FYI. I didn't say anything about running 19's and slamming my car on Zilvia at all. I only wrote that on Nico. I was talking about Zilvia users giving me negative comments....and not Nico.... so quit getting your forums mixed up.

Since you have such a great knowledge about S14's and their wheel sizes, why don't you teach me a thing or two instead of telling me that I have no clue what I'm doing.

VIP cars like Lexus and Infiniti's are running 20's on their cars.....and slammed on coilovers or air suspension.

I think someone should teach you how to stop flaming on someone else's thread and get a life.

and VIP cars have big ****ign wheel wells

Im running 18x9 -10 and 18x10 -3

Want to learn something about fitting wheels rightLook throught the 20 something odd page Fitment thread on Zilvia

i know for a fact theres some guys with 19s, and 18s that should suit your purpose

If you were smartyou would have saidI have 18x9 +16 and 18x10 +24 (which are fantastic s14 sizes btw for stock fenders)IN ADDITION you should have added the tire size as well

SO if you were running the same wheel in a 19and the 18 had 225/40 and 235/40i would have saidHey, if you just run a 225/35 and 235/35 you would be fine

instead, you didnt search at all, but just posted about hey, im wanting 19s, i have no clue about most stuff, just what i read in superstreet, so maybe someone that knows their **** like Yokota, or todd will help me.

but instead you get degraded, and are mad at me?You didnt follow the rulesi believe that in the stickies it outlies some rules for asking about wheels (not all apply to this post) and tire size is one of them me things

but i could be wrong....i dont know anything anywayshttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/17514
