Offset?

[Elementum.S14]

I was wondering if anyone knows what the most offset i could run on 17X9 or 17X8.5 front rim is on a S14 without rubbing. I would rather not use spacers. Also, I plan on getting coilovers at some point, and I've read that they give less clearance than the stock suspension. I prefer form over function so sitting flush with my fenders is not an issue. Any information would be much appreciated.

would this be true for any diameter rim? if i wanted 18's or 19's. would i have to make any changes to the +25 offset for 8.5" or +28 offset for 9"?

Id reccomend something lower than that for the front of an s14. To be flush and clear struts you'll want something like.

8.5 +10 to +159 +15 to +20

That will be applicable for all diameters..

id run the x9 front with rolled fenders and around a +15 to +20 like whiterps said

whatre you planning on running in the rear?

i wanna run 19s all around for daily driving. 8.5 in front and 9 out back. would 40 series tires tuck in those S14 fenders well on 19's? Anybody got pics? Or would 35's be a better fit?

19's will attract the eyes...

18's on tap for serious driving!

I run 9's with +25 offset on the front of my S14 and the wheel comes past the fender very very slightly. If you run 235/40s you can tuck the wheel under compression no problem.
