FYI your pics don't work.

18x9 +25 on all four corners will fit perfect with no fender modification.

+50 & +56 are way too little offset.

When you were searching did you happen to find the forum dedicated to wheels and tires?

If all else fails, look at your stock width & offset and then break out your pencil. Or check out the fitment database in the Wheels & Tires sub in the Technical forum to see what other s14 owners are running. Good luck!

Those offsets are WAY high. They most likely wont clear your suspension.

If they do, they will be sunken as hell.

You are welcome for the information, but I'm confused as to why, with all that at your fingertips, are you still asking us? there are approx 25mm to an inch. your fronts are 1.5 inches wider than stock (37 mm) and 2mm lower offset (meaning they'll stick out 2mm further from your hub if they were stock width). Your rears are 2.5 inches wider than stock (63 mm) and ditto the 2mm lower offset. A wheel with an offset of zero means that it sits exactly halfway between the inside and outside lip of the wheel.

Do the math.
