i got two questions, for ya if you don't mind.

1) what the weight of the 17x9 (15et wheel) and 17x10 35et wheel? i hear lightweight but never a close figure.

2)on my 95 s14, with rolled fenders, can I get a away running on 17x10 35ET rear with 235/45/17" or 225/45/17 & fronts running 225/45/17 on the 15et 17x9 without much roll. (i do have HKS coilovers/z32 brakes)

thanks, for all the help and taking the time

17x9" - 19.4 lbs17x10" - 21.3 lbs

Those fitments will have no problem... although a 225/45/17 on a 10" wheel is by no means a good fitment.

imho that car just looks wierd because its not very low and has unmodified fenders. if you want the wheel to be further inside the fender you can either 1. pull the fender out and get them in +25 or +12 2. order the 17x10s in +35 offset. 3. run grip camber settings, 2 or 3ish. 4 lower your car

yeah, those wheels on that car, plus the tijuana stretched tires look bad, imoI think i found some good sizes even though the rear fender may still need to be rolled (17x8 +25 front, 235/45/17 tire === 17x9, +15 rear 255/40/17 tires)

you probably wont have to much work with the fenders on rear sizes like that. i had 10 +25s with 255s and had no trouble, i was going to space it out 20mm but i sold the wheels. i guess you are more of a fan of the traditional muscle car look?

why do you say that? because of the tires? the stretched look never grew on me, the bead looks like its about to give way and blow the tire off. at any rate, i don't care for it. And yeah, I do like muscle cars

well thanks i'm hoping it will look hotter with some black/polished FN's and dropped a little more on KTS coilovers. I'm digging your s14 too... it's got all the other parts I want oh and the paint isnt faded to pink on the front either
