Quick Questioni cant find this setup at allbut some guy is selling base 350z wheels with brand new tires for $400my wheels are done and am looking to get upgrade (even its not much of an upgrade) for wheels

so my question is would it fit and clear the front of a S14? I tryed on some wheels before with 50 and it would hit the spring, so idk

he said "they are all 215/50/17" which seems weird but yahthanks Nico!

The 215 is the width of the tire. You should be alright in the fronts. 50 is the height. Ive got 225 50 17 on my 350z wheels (with dimples) They were rubbin along the strut, but only minimally. I picked up some 3mm spacers.

Id ride on over to him and swap out the fronts to see if it will rub.

isnt 50 a little high. ive never seen anyone run 50's on here. only 40's and 45's. i have 45's. it might work. you'll have a lot of tire though
