S14- 17x9 +20, 235's(F)/255's(R) fitment

[SoCalSilvia]

I wanted to know if 17x9 +20 offset rims with 235's in the front and 255's in the rear will fit without having to roll/pull fenders. I've got coilovers and am running a bit of camber. Will I have to roll/pull fenders to make them fit? Anyone have any pics of these sizes on an S14? Thanks

depends on ride height and camber. how much is a bit? 2? my guess is that it will probably work with a light drop and mild camber, which is what you probably have. but you should roll the fenders anyway to be on the safe side, it dosent change the appearance of the car at all.

hmm... i've got a decent drop, i think about 1.5-1.75 camber. will I have to take off the fender lining in the front?

na i dont think so unless you want to tuck tread.. ive ran 17x9 +15 on the front on stock fenders, but only for like a week daily driving.. by the time i got to take the car drifting they had already been rolled and pulled... right now i run 17x9 +7 with about 3 front camber, so i think you should be good with 17x9 +20. the rear is no problem, that wheel will fit eezy peezy in the back. i have 17x10 +25 with a 255 and 1 (or 1.5 i forget) camber with about halfinch tread tucked and it has plenty of room.

anyone have pics of this kind of setup on a S14? How flush will it sit? Right at the fender? stick out a bit?

I bet you'll at least need to roll the fenders. I have 16" x 8" +16 in the front with 225's and the tires sit completely flush with the body...actually, they seem to stick out just a little bit. a 9" wheel with +20 offset will have the outer lip extended by 8 mm compared to an 8" wheel with a +16 offset, and you're running wider tires, so take that for what it's worth...pictures of my s14 with these wheels:

with a 235 on a 9 it will put a mild stretch on the tire in the front, gives it more fender clearance than a 245 on an 8, which would be much more of a ballooned sidewall. also, i run 14x8 wheels 0 offset with a 195/65, no problems. granted the fenders are rolled and light pull but there is no rubbing or anything. so lower offsets are quite possible to run on an s14 with stock modified fenders, for sure.

bottom line - if you want the wheels, get them, if they rub, make them fit. personally, i think you will be ok, might need a roll job depending on camber. but if you want the wheels on your car, make them go on

oh, I want the wheels, I've already ordered them

They are coming in this coming week and I wanted to know if I should roll my fenders before going to the shop and getting the tires mounted and put on the car.

Mark- I love your S14, the wheels are sweet! Thanks for the pics, that is just how I would like my rims to sit.
