Offset is okay and 8 inch wheel and 225 tires are not that wide at all, so you are good to go.

Uh... I think 235 will look even better. 245 will have slight bulge. 225 might have bit of stretched look. I have 235/40 17 on 17x8 wheel and tire looks perfectly square. Since you have s14 and 18 inch wheels, you should go for 235. s14 has more space in wheel wells than s13.

those are the best I have at the moment. Don't mind the mud that was after a 600 mile trip from the track.

the tires are a bit mis-matched. fronts are 225/40/18 yokohama Parada spec 2rears are 245/35/18 falken fk451

Never seen them on a hatch. They look awsome!Yeah, 245 will look good on 18x8. I vote for 235 or 245 depends on your goal and taste.

Attached is pic of rear wheel.

Where did you get the center caps from? It says 'NISSAN.' That's cool.

dont run a 225/45

225/40 or 235/35

245 would probably have clearance issues up front...if you were to go that wide id recommend the sizes Sean runs

personally id do 225/40 all around

no, 225/45 is too tall

225/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear, if those are the widths you want
