1 - theres a set of wheels on ebay for really cheap, linea sport wheels, 18x10 +35 all around. is there ANY chance these would fit an s14? or is it a fools quest? cause they are REALLY cheap.

2 - thinking about getting fn01r-c 17x9 +12 front 17x10 +25 rear. anyone know how much i will have to pull the fenders to make these flush?

thx.

k thats what i thought on the 18's.. i couldnt really afford tires for it anyway and they are quite bling for my taste.

on the 17's in wierd sizes, trying to get the widest track and decent sidewall strech, the sidewalls are scrubbing pretty bad with like 40 psi on my 205/55's on 6.5" wide wheels so i am probably gonna run 205/40's or maybe 215/45. my car is not really that low so i probably wont have to roll the fenders, but itll stick out some so i probably will anyway to flare it out.

17x9 and 17x10? Spending some time on Freshalloy are we? What's the craze with the insanely stretched tires? 205/40's or 215/45's on a 9" wide wheel? That's rediculous IMO. No performance gains...probably losses. Get a 17x8 and 17x9 setup...run 215/45's in the front and 235/45's in the rear if you want a stretched look.
