ok so i already searched and found a lot of usefull information but still am looking for a more specific answer. my car is a 1995 s14 se. i have stance gr+ coilovers and would like to run an 8 inch wide rim with a fairly wide tire, but i looks like that may not be a choice without modifications, what are my options if any for the offset without having to roll the fenders and i'd like to not use spacers.

all the posts i've seen regarding this either use wheels much bigger than what i'm asking about or they aren't concerned with coilover clearance or they never get a good answer.

and if you show me a prepost regarding this exact situation and i missed it, sorry and thank you.

thanks for any assistance

I will never understand why people oppose rolling their fenders. I guess if you go with like a +25 or higher, you can get away without rolling your fenders. It's gonna look sunk though.

i was really only opposed to the rolling because i didn't know enough about it, but after searching it a little bit i feel more comfortable about the idea. if i do go the rolling route what kinda changes would that make my offset options. also if i wanted a staggered setup a 9" rear wheel might work with rolled fenders too right?

it all depends on offset. the lower the offset, the closer it will be toward the fender, and the less tire width you'll need to be using for fitment. Obviously, the more fender clearance you have, the lower the offset.

just be gangsta about it and roll your fenders like this guy haha http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wxmw-4A0DEQ
