i'm not sure what the conversion rate is, but that price seems pretty steep for FN's. What size and offset were you getting?

As for pics of S14's with FN's, use that little search button, about 7/10 S14's have FN's so it won't be hard to find pics of that.

FN's are like a dome a dozen.. just google it and you will find a gazillion pictures of them on any car you basically want to see.

Thanks everyone... I managed to pull a few pictures..

And yes the price might be a little steep, but I dont think I can get a much better price. With the current rates it's almost 1100$us...

That was for 17x8 +35 in the front, 17x9 +35 in the back, but I might have to go with +25 in the front for coilover clearance..

But with shipping + the ()$"&*)$(" customs I don't think it'd be profitable to get them from USA. Unless I got them installed there and came back, but then I'D have to get rid of my old wheels

+25 offset will give you better clearance and IMO, its looks better.Youre 5 lug??

No, I am 4lug We didn't have base model S14s in Canada, they are all either SEs or LEs, and they all had the VLSD. But the first SEs had 4lug, so I'm stuck with that.. I hope I can get +25s in 4lug... Also, would you suggest +25 only in the front or in the back too ?

Invest in some 5 lugs hubs all they way around. I think they are $100 a piece brand new from nissan. They bolt right on you your S14 spindles.

I remember them being $100 each too.Whoa, just looked at Pinnacle's site. The front are $100 each and include new bearings. Rears are $150 each and require you to use your old bearings. New rear bearings are an extra $85 each.

Strut clearance in the rear isnt really a factor with +25 or 35. Depending on ride height, you may have issues hitting the fender. The lower you are, the closer the wheel sits to the fender. +35 in the rear is 'safer'.

EDIT: but either +25 or +35 will work fine...

There's other stuff out there for that price, it's not like FN's (while I do really like the way they look) are your only option.

Wedsport SA90Gramlights 57sGramlights 57proBlack Racing N1Work Emotion CR Kai

There's tons more, you just have to look around. Those are all about the same price.
