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.

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..

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.
