Just put in the Konig 17'' rims, rear suspension and front radial arms.

Debating on whether or not to paint it in the summer.

Any suggestions?

Nice ride. Imho, painting should be the last thing to do. Hook up your s14 w/ wheels and suspension first.

Does anyone on here run spacers, or have any info on them, i think 10mm spacers would un-sink those rims pretty effectively.

Don't waste your time with spacers that big. Get some wheels that fit.

hmm...suggestions? umm........ could use a nice car wash, clay bar and wet sand the headlights and polish them to make them clear again not all fogged out or nasty also check Tension Rod bushings if they are shot and Subframe Spacers, and a good kill switch & alarm also complete fluid flush, power steering make sure its ATF fluid not PS fluid flush

dont waste time with spacers. Get rid of those wheels and buy something with lip. If you put spacers on, you're car will look just like "A car with spacers", its not really possible to make wheels like that look good.

If you have to, consider a cut/polish, but get used to driving your car before you get it painted.

That car looks so familiar... Your info seems to be telling me you're from AZ but it looks a lot like a car I saw for sale in Ontario.

If you plan on running spacers, don't buy any generic EBay crap. Your life depends on it. The best thing if you're serious about getting rid of that sunken look.....get new wheels. LOL. Do your best to restore what you need on the car first, then worry about upgrades.

Are you saying don't run spacers in general, or just stay away from Ebay crap...?

I just bought these wheels and do not want to be throwing around money for a whole new set, the spacers are a quick cheap fix.
