I'm guessing they wont fit. At a minimum, the fenders would need to be rolled. First, find what offsets are offered, then use the offset calculator in the wheel FAQ to see where the wheels would sit. That will tell you if you need to roll (or possibly pull) the fenders.

Which JLines are you considering?

they will fit with enough rolling and pulling. You probably need a +15 or lower to clear the strut in front, otherwise you'll need a small spacer.

itd definately need a lot of work...and a hefty stretch

the rears wouldnt be too bad, but youd probably be better off buying overfenders for the front

It's an s14. It can be pulled off easily with -2+ degrees of camber, tire stretch, low car, and a good roll/pull. No need for overs unless he want's 245+ tires.
