for rims, go for 17x8 for the front, 17x9 for the rear and i think +40 offset is fine. Just one opinion though.

17's is really all you need. 18's are a little tall for the wheel well/suspension but im sure there are guys here who have them.I'm not good with tires. I let the guys who sell them tell me what is best.

i'll really appreciate it if you do it for me... :D

I checked tirerack.com just before..

and.. they recommanded me to get 215/40/18 if i get 18s..

but like you said.. if i get 17 or 18 x 9 or 10...

i think i should get more wider tires...right?? 235/40/18 would be okay? aren't they gonna rub the fenderwall though??

and.. i want to buy all same size of rims and tires so that i can rotate 'em later... (front and back)

well.. hit me back asap after you talk to that guy..

Thanks!! :D

a +40 for a 240 will rub horribly in a 8" width. try running a 20-30mm offset, since its a s14(has more clearance than s13's) 17x8 all around, 235-40-17, the 30mm wont clear coilovers, but witha smaller tire will clear stock stuff, I believe. WHen in doubt, vie on the lower side of the offset...25mm or something.

please read the attention sticky so we can reccomend things better...

how much money do you havewhat the intened use of the vehicle

etc, will all change the sizing, offset, and tires..-chet

If you're going to rotate them then you need a 17x8 +20, thats about as wide as you can get while clearing the suspsension in the front.
