Got my Brakes, Coilovers...now the Wheels...

[SoCalS14]

OK fellas,

I have been through this site so many times about offset I am sick (I can't find a consistant answer), but like I have read, ask first, then purchase....Right? What I got: S14, Z32 brakes (F/R), Teins coilovers...

What I need: Awesome wheels...

What I'm thinking: DT05R's, 17X8.5 +25, 17X9.5 +30

What I'm asking: Will they fit? I do have the option of ordering the fronts in +15, but the rears are only offered in +30 and higher.

IF I NEED TO ROLL MY FENDERS...How the heck is this done??? I read about it all the time, and often there is mention of a machine???

I am looking to run 235's up front and 255's out in back...

9.5 in the rear is very wide... but thats just my opinion. I love the wheels tho. Many people on this forum swear by the 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels. Id get them too if i had the money. 8 in the front 9 in rear is sweet. There are ALOT of wheels options out there. Its really a matter of taste and what you want. If you are looking for crazy performance than 15s or 16s will be better performance wise, but a nice set up 17s are always a + in my mind .

OK, I did some checking and it seems that the 5zigens are pretty reasonable and available in 18's! The FN01R-c's are nice, but has any one seen the NI's ones from 5Zigen in flat black! Badda$$...Plus I can get them in 18X8 and 18X9.....Do you think I can run a 255 on a 9" rim, and still look good?

[240SXedUp]

I think so

[barrigas14]

you can actually stick 10" in the rear of a S14...but the cost of tires is crazy. i would stick with 8.5 front and rear because in the long run...tires are going to eat you alive.

btw rollin fenders is done with a tool that is hooked to the studs on your wheels and rolls the inner lip of your fender. the tool is kinda expensive and some places charge alot of money to do it.

i have a 255 on a 9 inch 5zigen fno1r-c and i think it fits great. i dont think mine would clear coilovers tho

Hey Structure I checked your pics, nice ride, but those look like 17's? I think I am going to end up with 18's, I love the look...18X9 int he right offset should clear the rear coilovers, any ideas what that offset would be?

[Structure240sx]

yes they are 17's. i have 17x9 in the back in a +43 offset i think. theres maybe almost an inch before the strut so work from there. my fronts are 17x8 in +35 or 38 i think and sit within half an inch of the strut. i was going to get in on the k sport coilover group buy but then i would have to get new wheels so im jsut going to be happy with my agx's oncei put them in

SoCalS14: Before you get 18s Id really look around this board. I use to want 18s too, but now all i want is 17s. Just a thought

[Structure240sx]

yea i thought about that after i posted. i had a set of 18's but i never even got tires for them. theya rent really worth it at all. its usually hard to tell the difference between 18 and 17 anyway.

[SoCalS14]

Yea, this actually is becoming a headache. I like the DT05R's in 17 inch...but they only come in the half sizes and are pretty wide...if I don't score some of those, I will end up with the N1 5Zigens in 18 inch. AAAAHHH!!! I appreciate your advice fellas...
