Do you think some 16x8 +25 would fit?

17x9 with a +20 offset and 225/45 front and a 245/45 rear. That is a good fitting and very easy to clear setup on a s13.

Is say you do more research before buying knock off wheels. NICO is filled with useful information about suspension, wheel fitment, tire sizes and a lot of other reliable articles. If you want wheels on a budget I would suggest save more money and buy authentic wheels, Enkie RPF1s are really nice great wheels for the price and you would be supporting a company that actually spends money on R&D of new wheels rather than plagiarizing other company's design like XXR and Rota do.
Be smart and support innovators in our industry and welcome to NICO

this has been the best resource for me as far as wheel/tire selection goes. simply type in nissan s13 or s14 and you can view data sheets or pictures of wheel/tire set ups, or you could narrow your search to 16 inch wheels on an s13...etc, its pretty cool.
