I'm thinking about buying some Works rims for my S14 kouki. They are 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 with a-10 offset. Would these fit good or would they stick out too much? Thanks.

Why don't you just go see yourself with a ruler?

The WHEEL in the rear will stick out almost 2" past the fender. The fronts will stick out roughly the same. Those are wheel sizes used mostly in running a wide body kit or fender flares.

My point exactly

I believe that most of you know nothing about offsets vs wheel sizes let alone tire sizes/aspect ratios anyway.

Unless you have pulled fenders/flares/overfenders/whatever they will stick out more than you would like. That is unless you like wheels that stick out around 2". No matter how much you stretch the tires they will stick out. Unless you run rediculous camber, they will stick out.

Crazy offsets like that are usually for people with big body kits and/or huge overfenders. The would look stupid on a daily IMO.

Does that help? Btw, there is a wheels/tires section.

Yea, I kinda figured -10 offset was too way too much. I guess I won't go for it. Thanks for all of the input.

I suggest 18x9's all around with a +15/+20 offset.
