I have used a few different wheel and tire calculators to verify that I am making a good choice but I am not very confident.

Here is what I was thinking:

Work emotion CR Kai 18 x 9.5 +20

Tire size 245 40 18 all around

I have megan coilovers and Z32 brakes

I do not want roll / pull my fenders but I will if I absolutely have to.

Thats a really good setup for starters, but youre most likely going to need a roll up front if you dont run extreme negative camber. Dont worry about rolling though, its really nothing. My buddy down here at school is running 9.5's in the rear with no roll at all.

9.5's all the way around will look great though.

did he have to roll the front or do 9.5's fit in the front? im not sure if i should go with 18's or 17's for my s14, will 18's rub?

18's look dope on S14's, also you will need to roll the front fenders AND run some negative camber or pull the fender slightly to run 9.5's up front. I run a 9 +20 on my front and with .3 camber (close as they could get) my wheel itself sticks out by like 1/8 of an inch. It works though cuz I'm running 235's up front. I say just go with 9's all the way around or 9F and 9.5 R same offsets if those particular wheels have that option.

You're gonna need it to basically explode the tire onto the bead. i.e. spray some into the tire, light a match, and run.
