Would a 18x8.5 +25 offset wheel work on my 95 se or would it stick out quite a bit? Also would i be able to run a 255 or even maybe 265 tire up front without rubbing at all?

If your on stock fenders I highly doubt your going to fit 255 in the front. With 255's it would probally stick out about an inch from the fender. Your best bet might be to run a 235 tire up front along with some negative camber, Then roll and(if you want) pull your fender a little bit. That way you should be able to fit that rim up front.

It will be fine, I'm running 18x8.5+25 up front with a 225/40 and 18x9.5+25 out back with a 245/40, and all this is on an S13! S14s have more room. I doubt you'll be able to go that wide on the tires though. My fenders are rolled all around, the fronts could come out some more (at least another 5-10mm). I'm not that familiar with S14s but I'd say a 235/40 or MAYBE a 245/40 up front. Out back, you'll have plenty of room (if you're running the same size wheel on all four corners).

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Yeah right, 17x9+20 is perfect flush on stock S14 fenders. (Im talking about really conservitive flush too).

18x8.5 +25 will definately be under the fender and fit easily with a fender roll. However, while it would likely fit under the fender a 255 is pretty wide for an 8.5, Id use a 235 for an extremely slight stretch or 245 for perfect square.

I don't know dude, that 255 is kinda wide for the front fender.

Like I said earlier Zetec, 235 up front is good and more than likely what you want to get
