Offset size help

[S-14boy]

Im currently looking at some rims for my s14 on ebay. They are 17x8J +45 114.3 4 & 5 hole and 17x9+45 114.3 4 & 5 lug. Should this fit?????

yes they will fit but they will look fugly when you put them on due to the +45 offset...

with 8 inch rim +20 offset should line up nicely with the fenders and not look like a sunken battle ship.

ya those will look terrible on an s14. for 8 or 9 inch you want something at least in the +20's or so.

so i guess these guys wouldnt look good either

even x8 +20 probably wouldn't look very good but it'll pass... with like a spacer.

but for sure don't look at anything with +30 -+50 offsets. that's not made for our cars. more for like imprezas and like rx7s/nsxs i think.

if your car has 5 lug you should have no problem looking for used wheels but if you have 4 lug stick with 15-16" used unless you find some forien shop that makes nice 4x114 wheels in nice sizes =/..

As ILike said, you want something closer to +20. The higher the number, the more inward the wheel sits.

There are a few sites that sell used wheelshttp://www.takumiproject.comhttp://www.wheelch ... dm.com/and of course RBMotoring's site. Ive heard takumi project sells some crappy wheels so watch out...

It seems like all the rims im looking at seem to have a 30-35 offset, and say they fit 240sx, is that due to the lip, or ignorance

yeah they might clear stock brakes and coilovers, but they might not clear a stock spring, but then again i could be wrong

it's not ignorance but you do notice they say a lot of things fit 240s it wont look good but it'll fit. notice which rims sold the fastest? the x8+25 onis

but your wheels wont look close to this if you go for the +30-+40 offsets on small width wheels.
