I know the oem 300zx wheels will fit on my 98 s14.

why dont they offer the same wheels for the s14?

specifically the enkei rpf1's in 17x8.5 and 17x9.5:

because wheel fitment databases on websites....like to buy...suck because they dont want anyone complaining about the brand new wheels they just bought not fitting, or hitting the fenders, and dont take into account people heavily modifying their car and wanting crazy fitment, they basically cater to the types who replace their wheels because they can and dont do much research as to fitment

oh ok, but if they fit with no issues then they should list them. oh well...

but my real question is will the enkei rpf1's fit with no issues?

17x8.5 and 17x9.5 with koni/eibach pro kit

Ive only seen maybe 1 other s14 with these wheels

thanks

need more info, like offset to know for sure

IF IT WERE ME.....i would go 17x9.5 +18, great aggressive sizing that will fit under your stock fenders with some modification and some tire stretch

17x9+22 is also a good choice, and why are you wanting to stagger your wheels? that size will work for both front and rear, and if you want something more conservitave go with 17x8.5+30 but you will probably need a small spacer, 10mm at the most to clear your suspension

Im not a fan of square setups because I like the staggered look. Ive always been a fan of the staggered look previsouly owning 3 M3's and 2 911's.

Here are the offsets:

17x8.5 +30mm17x9.5 +38mm

That should fit fine, even with coils. It's not very aggressive though. I'd go with:17x10+18 255/40/1718x10.5+15 265/35/18

That would be hot and fit an s14 no problem.

whats the lowest offset/tire size you can get on a s14 without rubbing?

I want to keep the body original, dont want to roll the fenders

I also went back to tirerack and plugged in a 350z application and this is what I got for the Enkei RPF1:

17x9's (says these are for the rears?):

Offset: 22mm

17x10's:

Offset: 18mm
