Hey guys,

Gonna be upgrading my suspension and wheels soon on my s14 le. Going with tein type flex or super drift with the"new" edfc, and work cr kai's or xt7's.

I've searched, and sifted through multiple threads, but need the correct info. I don't want to roll my fenders, or run a staggered set-up. I do want to run the widest wheels possible. So finally, my question...

What's the best offset and width considering the info above?

I was thinking either 17or18x9 +20?

Thanks in advance

9" wide +20 will be very close to the front fender I think. Rolling your fenders isnt too difficult, as long as you take your time. I dont think you need to worry about the rears.

Seriously, dont be afraid to roll your fenders. Its not nearly as hard as you seem to think.

Then, you can get some seriously aggressive sizes and be happy. Without rolling your fenders your options are somewhat limited. Take advantage of the giant wheel wells you S14 guys have!
