best thing i could say is learn how to figure out offsets "not that hard" figure out if you want to roll or flare or whatever to your fenders and then find a wheel you like that comes in that offset and rock it. id say 17 if you plan on sliding and then figure out how wide of a rim and what offset you want to your set up. remember coilover clearence and take into tire size as well.. my suggestion. im figuring out my shoe setup as we speak because i finally unloaded my horrible old rims "sportmax" and im getting new ones with the right offset for my fender flares. at the time i bought them it was the right offset untill we flared the fenders. good luck the search button under like rims and lips and **** helped me alot.

wheels I've had:

Stock s14 wheels 16x6.5 40 offset 18lbs each

Kosei K-1 16x7.5 32 offset 15.5lbs each

1998 mustang cobra R wheels17x8 30 offset 21.5lbs each

r32 Skyline GT-R wheels16x8 30 offset 16lbs each

Ok, of all these wheels, the mustang wheels were my least fav. performance wise. They are way too heavy. They looked great though. The stock SE wheels look gross on a lowered car, but performance wise arn't horrid. the Kosei and gt-r wheels by far were my fav. both weigh about 16lbs each (fairly light) and I love the way 16" wheels look on an s14 that doesn't have any aero parts on it. if you plan on getting big sideskirts and all that jazz, then 17" wheels are a must IMO just for looks. THe kosei and gt-r wheels accelerate, handle and looked the best of the wheels i've had. thumbs up for them. thumbs down for trying to find a set

^^^cuit lord!

yeah don't get motegi's they wont be sized right for the 240 at all. Keep in mind I don't have all the sets of wheels I listed currently. I get a set, get tired of it, sell it, get another.They are almost as hard to find as the GT-R wheels, but if you can find a good set of the Kosei K-1's i'd reccomend those. Good and relativly inexpensive.

for my 95 s14 I plan on going with work xd9 gunmtal 18x85 +28 non staggered because id like to be able to rotate

[bman2033]

i dont get why you guys say that motegi's are for honda, cause this year at HIN they had motegi's on a 350z and it looked great. and look at the marketplace on import intelligence they have what they call a "drift machine" that has motegi

so i dont get it

All right guys, the honda jokes are funny but dont help answer his question at all. Before you read my response, make sure you are fimiliar with the terms "offset" and "flush".

Simply put, Motegis are built for Hondas. Why? Because Hondas require high offset wheels.

Your s14 has much more room between the hub and the edge of the fender. Therefore, your going to want a wider wheel with a lower offset.

Heres a generic breakdown for what offsets youll want to start searching for. Note: these are not the only sized wheels you can fit, but to get the wheel somewhat flush with the fender youll want somewhere along these lines.7" wide -5 to +58" wide +5 to +15 9" wide +10 to +20

If you still dont get it email me.

I honestly don't know why they'd use that wheel on the 240SX on Import Intelligence's website. It's heavy and the offsets are horrible for a 240SX. I can only guess that they're running massive spacers with those wheels and they still don't really look flush.

Damn, I wish I had picked up some Kosei K1's when Tirerack was selling them.

[bman2033]

ok thats cool then tell me why i found motegi's rims that are made for G35 and 350z 18X9 +10 offset and 18X10 +30 offset in the rear. i think +10 offset is pretty low dont ya think.

So I could run a 15x7 +0 and it would be fine on an S14? No fender modifications at all?

What about a 16X8 +0? I want old school for the S14!!!
