here it goes, i have seen the wheels on several other S14's but not in the size i am looking at, they are 1999-2004 Mustang Saleen Wheels, they can be found on http://www.americanmuscle.com , i have a seller who has a set of 4 wheels2x 18x9 +242x 18x10 +22(maybe +26 or +28)

i love how they look, i will be getting EnduraTech coilovers this summer and can get these wheels for a very low price. i know i will need a small spacer up front(found a set of 5mm hub centric rings with longer bolts for $80 shipped), here are my questions.

Will i need to do any modifications to the car except the coilovers(rolling fenders, etc.)?what kind of tires would i be able to fit in order to provide me with the most grip while not compromising the integrity of the car?

yeah, 18x9 +24 won't clear coilovers up front. It has to be a minimum of at least +15-20 for it to clear (give or take 5-10mm depending on what coilover brand chosen).

As far as modifications, a simple flat roll should suffice. You don't need to pull your fenders.

i'm going with enduratech coilovers, don't know if anyone has any experience with them but they are a good choice for the purpose i am going to use them. What tire size would i need to run on the front and back(i don't like the shtretched tire look)?

I dont have any personal experience with Enduratech... but they seem pretty good. However, I know the STI guys like them a lot... you know that they're a sponsor here right? You might be able to save a chunk of money by going though them

as far as tires, I'd recommend 235/40 245/40 for a somewhat squarish tire look...
