Hi

i'm new to this site so please forgive me if this question has been asked before.

I have a S14 w/ coilovers.

I'm interested in getting 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears.

the offsets offered are (+22/+32) fronts and (+27/+37) rears. Which ones should i choose to fit my car? I'd like to keep away from using spacers if possible.

thanks in advance.

22 and 27, front and rear respectively will keep you from using spacers. use the offset calculator in the FAQ< also. thanks.-chet

I'm putting some American Eagle #193 (17"x7" +40 offset) with 215 45 17's on this week. If all goes well, I'll post a link to some pics of the results.

Well, the new wheels and tires are on and they look great! Couldn't ask for a better fit. The combination of wheel size, offset and tire size are perfect. Tire are just inside the fender lips and a finger width from the struts and spring seats on the front. Much more clearance from the struts on the rear. Will post a pic or two soon.
