dont approve

by looking at the wheel, it says its 17x7.5 with a 42 offset?

thats so fail

if you like that style of wheel get mb battles



17x9.5 +15 offset

You didn't post if your car is 4 lug or 5 lug...

The trick is to buy wheels that don't need spacers. You're gonna want something like 18x9.5+15 on an S14...

Yeah, not all S14 SE's are 5 lug. It gets a little tricky like that... MB Battle is your best bet if you like the Drag style, but the Battles are concave and much better.

Looks like they discontinued the 18x9.5+15.

Oh well, the 17x9.5+15 will work just fine too.

Yeah, lots of ppl assume that when you buy an S14 SE, that means you get 5 lug, ABS, VLSD and a rear sway bar. Of these things, my SE only has the 5 lug, but other ppl have different combinations. Seriously, the trim level makes 0 sense. There was no standard way to figure out what your car has besides looking at the VIN & serial #, unless you wanted to go testing your car for each of those things... So annoying.

you mean like a siffer rear sway bar?

yeah my friend has an SE s14 and his is 5 lug, but no abs and has an open haha

thats some b.s.

nissan is like that though, like apparently, the like 05 model sentra seR spec V's either come with a bomb sound system or brembo 4 pot front brakes and its like either or, its rediculous

i wish i had 5 lug, but they are making better offset wheels in 4 lug, totally stoked off the grids
