these are what im looking at getting



Godspeed Deep Dish wheel 18x9 +24 and 18 x10 +22 other options are 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +40


I know i will more than likely have to do widebody and thats not an issue just been racking my brain on tire sizes lol

Let me know what u guys think

You dont need widebody for those wheels. Are you going to be run fat tires or stretched tires? How low are you planning on going? Are you planning on running any amount of camber?

I'm running 18x9.5 -6 and 10.5 -6 on stock fenders. There rolled and pulled with stretched tires. good amount of camber.

If you need to go wide for wheels godspeed should not be your first choice.

Well i don't know if it is the same god speed that everyone associates to the Ebay Crap. I like the look of the wheel, the finish, and the offset isn't bad. I also love the 3.5 in lip on the fronts and 5 inch on the rears. And no its not a first choice i just like the look of them.

well currently with my 8in wheel on the rear with 33 offset i believe, and the 245 40 in the rear i am pretty flush and 0 camber. I would like to get some meat back there seeing as it will be getting a 300+ HP RB20. So was thinking along the lines of a 275 35 18.

Godspeed makes wheels? I would go with a different wheel... these are probobly made real cheap... and with a 300+ HP RB20 if you maybe hit a curb in the slightest way... maybe they will bend. Or a medium sized pot hole... Who knows. These would defedently not be my first wheel choice.... How much are these anyway?

It really comes down to if you want to go fast. Stretched tires and a bunch of camber is for hardparkers, not for going fast. On an s14, you only have 85mm from hub face to fender. So, any wheel that has more than 85mm coming out, you will have to camber in to keep it in the fender and stretch the tire so they don't scrub. I have 18x10's +43 on the rear of mine, and they fit perfectly. They have 84mm coming out. 10"(width) x 25.4(mm to inch conversion) = 254mm/2(to split the wheel difference) = 127mm(on each side) -43mm (offset) = 84mm coming out and 170mm backspacing. The front has the same distance, just keep in mind that if you're running coil-overs on the front, you don't want more than a 135mm backspacing, as the inner lip of the wheel will be extremely close to hitting the coil perch. If you're running coil-overs, those 9 +24's will have a 138mm backspacing and will more than likely not work, unless you run a spacer, then you'll have to camber them in to fit.

like i said i don't think it is the Same GODSPEED that everyone associates with the ebay crap. Actually they are geared more toward mustangs. but with a 1600 Lb load rating they are plenty strong. They also have a warranty. about 220 per wheel is the running price.

So you think if i go with the 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +40 option i will be better off even if i have to go wide body? I am already tempted to go that route. Thanks for throwing some numbers at me it helps to visualize things for me.

[chad b.]

To run a 9" wheel on the front, the offset needs to be a 20 or lower if you plan to run coil-overs.I personally think the best wheel setup for an s14 is 8.5 +18-22 in the front and 9.5 +30-34 in the rear. This will allow you to run a 245 up front and a 275 out back not have little to no negative camber, taking full advantage of your tires grip. Also, depending on wheel design, they should have a nice lip size. This is just my opinion. One thing to consider is getting a good deal on a nice set of 2-piece wheels the diameter and lug pattern to fit your car and getting them rebarreled to your personal width and offset specs. It's a bit pricey, but you will get exactly what you want. Just a thought.

i see what you are saying thanks for the info

OP, the 18x9+24 and the 18x10+22 setup will work just fine with most coilovers, including Megan. I've seen it myself. But you can also go to Rimtuck.com and see other Zenki's running 18x9 with offsets higher than +20 and fitting just fine.

However, generally... lower offset is better for flushness. Choose your tire sizes carefully. I'd prefer a 235/40 in that front and 255/35 on the 18x10 rear. I don't like more than a 20mm stagger.

$220 A Wheel??????? f*** THAT! What if it is the same ebay crap? Dude for $880 You can get Varresteons, XXR's, ROTAS, Works, Some Rays volk (used)... damn thats a lot of money to spend on ugly GS wheels! IDK man, its up to you.........

I'd do some more research on those wheels. They look good and go with what your heart is at. Try to get some reviews on how these wheels are before you buy them.
