Show me S14's on 15 inch wheels.

I know this is dumb, I only ask because I happen to already own really nice 15's (SSR Mk1) and I got it in my head that it would look kind of cool on a really slammed stock-bodied wingless S14. I'm probably wrong, but I want to know FASHO.

Obviously, this looking cool would be contingent upon PBM's or Fortunes being able to get the car low enough to really slam on a 15" up front, which I'm not sure they can do.

Brake fitment could be an isse depending on wheel design.

They'll definitely clear brakes. Front is 15x7.5 -7, and I have stock brakes.

I'll PM you about the SSR's. They ARE for sale.

Picture with Starions makes me wonder.

If I was going to do it, I'd want to be confident that I'd be able to tuck rim front and rear, but it seems like even with all the aero off, you couldn't get that car low enough to tuck rim in the front, and that's with 16's, let alone 15's.

Starions do look beast though, maybe I'll look for a set to DD on.

Too bad it's got WHOA wheel gap....

Probably due to the aero though. I bet he could get the wheel pretty close to tucking if he was stock body.

I'm really tempted to try this, but then again I might score 5-lug + brakes for like $500 this weekend, rendering this debate academic at best.

it does. but with the slight aero it has and the stretched tires and on 15's imbetting the underside of the car is seriously low. it looks good for what he's going for but i know where your coming from and what you want to do...but man if you are planning on tuckin the top of a 15 you are going to be dumped to the extreme outer reaches of what it means to be dumped lol

if you try it and make it look good im seriously interested in seeing pictures afterwards. the white car i posted is awesome to me. and i dont believe in the 17" and up rule of thumb thats ground into nissan mined brains
