Quick question on S14 17x9 +35mm wheel fitment

Post by **95Z3nki** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:29 pm

Will the 17x9 +35mm offset Sportmax/XXR 962 wheels in the 4x114.3 lug pattern fit a stock 95 240sx without any modifications?

I plan on lowering maybe 1" in the future but just wondering If I could slap these on without any problems right now.

Thanks everyone,

Wheel size = Good

Offset = Bad

+35 is a little sunk, I would say anywhere between +15/+20.

yep they'll be sunk in. you should check out the wheel fitment thread to see what kind of sizes members are running. might help you decide

A little? More like sunken battleship! ;]

Even for the rear, I've seen quite a few pictures of s14's with this exact size and it actually looks like it sticks out a little. I know the front is sunken in a bit though.

You may need spacers to clear Z32 and coliovers (if you have either)

Here's 17x9 +20

+35 will certainly not clear the suspension if you are running coilovers. Spring/strut combo might give the added 11mm of clearance you're looking for.

I have 9-inch +24 on the front (S14) and the wheel is within 5mm of the coilover spring. Don't buy wheels that don't fit. Total waste of time and effort for Sportmaxx's.

Meh.... +35 is better than the stock +45, and also that is on a 6.5" wide wheel, 17x9 is a lot wider.

If those #'s (& my math) are right, the 17x9 +35 will be ~40 mm (1.5 inches) closer to the fender.

Not battleship ... unless you're a flush-miester

Your math is right, but the issue will be the extra inch (27mm) that the 9-inch wheel extends towards the strut.

+24 on 9-inch wheel will stick out from the fender maybe 3-5mm depending on the camber so it's very close to flush. I can measure for sure when I get home tonight.

So how about 17x9 all the way around but use like maybe a 10mm spacer up front and a 5mm spacer in back. From the pictures I've seen the 35mm offset on a 9" wheel looks pretty close to flush in the rear. But I dont know

Because spacers are BS, if you are going to buy nice wide wheels why not just get the offsets you need. Plus with spacers on wide wheels like that you will prolly have to get extended lugs.

Will 17x9+25 front and 17x10+20 rear go out a little on an s14 5 lug

Post by **AZ89two4Tsx** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:49 am

17x9 +35 is not sunken in at all. If anything it'll be flush or stick out a little.

To answer the most recent post, you're probably going to need to do some fender modification.

So 17x9 +35 front would be a better route and is the rear fine with the +20 offset in the rear work?
