you have the wheels, and you have the 240. jack the damned car up and swap wheels.

Offsets are a bit high for an S14 ... assuming they are the 18x8 +40.

wellt he specs should be stamped somewhere on the wheel. get the width and offset and look around. although i doubt you're going to have any fitment issues unless your suspension is not stock.

...Not without spacers and a smaller tire sidewall...

I doubt anyone will have pics because they will not look good on a 240 at all. Yes the spacers will move the wheel out, because they're going to be SUPER SUPER SUPER sunken. They will not fit well.

...Which is what you would need. Because those high offset wheels are gonna be soooo sunken into your wheel well that the tire will be rubbing the fender lining. The spacer will move the wheel/tire away from the fender lining and prevent the rubbing. A 20mm spacer should have you pretty flush.

But I say sell the wheels and buy something that doesn't need spacers to fit right.

350z wheels are 18x8 +33 and they fit fine on my s14, and I have no spacers. These should work with a 5mm spacer up front.

But they are ugly as f***.

True. Find G or Z wheels, little lower offset. Friend bought my 17" G wheels and they look pretty good on S14.

Those are def not 18's...the wheels on that green kouki look like 19's or 20's.

Look at the rears, I have 18's on my s14 and there nothing like that...

They're 18s in the front and 20s in the rear.
