im new to the nico forums but ive owned my s14 for almost 2 yrs now! ive got it lowered on eibach sportlines with kyb adjustables. im looking into buying a 17x8 17x9 wheel. how ever im also contemplating on doing 18x8 18x9. what is the correct offset to use so my wheel wont rub the fenders! i also dont want my wheels sitting directly flush with the fender! would prefer them to be slightly in! also what tire sizes are correct for this settup

+25 for the 8's and +35 for the 9's works well

lower offsets can work but can take a few extra things done to make sure they dont rub anything

if i decided to do 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 what wil be the offset option so that the wheels are still casted in? i just hate wheels that stick out without the widebody kit!

Hey I like your car. Ive got a red '98 with the exact fn01rc wheel set up you have with some megan coilovers. I even got hyperblack. Very similar look going on. I wonder though how many miles do you have on your ka24det. Mine has about 80,000, and Im trying to decide between power plants, the kadet or an srdet. I'd like to stay with what Ive got. I just like to hear what you've experienced with setting up your motor for a turbo. You are running pretty high boost and I like you HP numbers. Very sweet ride though.
