I'm looking into these rims for my 95 s14, but I have some questions for the wheel experts or anyone familiar with the set up.

At 5zigen's website, the s14 is listed in 17in 8.5w for the front and 17in 9.5w for the rears. http://www.5zigenusa.com/w_pracer_gn.htmlI just want to make sure I won't have any clearance issues. I'm currently running tein HE coilovers with a slight drop with mild if any camber. I entered the stats into an offset calculator and came up with these results:

FrontThe clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 7mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 43mm

Rear Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 36mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 40mm

Does anyone know how accurate these calculators are? I would like the rim to be more flush with the fender than the current setup, but don't want the rims to stick out.

Thanks for your time and any advice you can provide.

Haven't a clue as to how accurate the calcs are but I do know they are fairly heavy wheels. Mine are 17x8.5 +32 and I need to roll my fenders a bit in the rear (camber is taking care of it in the front for now). Mine wiegh in at around 22 pounds before tires according to my bathroom scales.

If you're worried about wieght then FN01R's are lighter and about the same price. They were a little cheaper when I was buying. I don't know what the prices are now though but they're a pretty popular wheel.

Edit: This is on an S13 but someone with more knowledge of the differences between the two models should be able to provide some insight now.

Thanks for the info... I think I'll probably end up with fn01r-c's. Just can't beat 17lb 17" wheels with correct offsets and up to 10" wide for $200 a pop.
