I hate to do this but Ive spent hours looking for the answer. I have a 95 S14 with the VR4 12.5 Rotor in front and stock rims. I have to use a 20mm spacer to clear everything with the stock 16X6.5 40mm offset. Will a 18X8.5 20mm Offset in front and 18X9.5 25mm offset in the rear fit? Will I have to still use the spacers? If not do they make longer lug nuts so I dont have to change the studs anytime I want to use the stock rims for track use? If these rims will not work what is the maximum offset I can run. Do the spacers add offset or subtract it? Thank you in advanced. Im asking this question so I dont blow $1200 on wheels that wont fit correctly.

the spacers make the effective offset lower and increase the backspacing. So you will be running 18x8.5 0 offset and 18x9.5+5 offset after the spacers are factored in. And yes, spoke design is very important when brake clearance is in question.

Here is a pic of the wheel. Im just trying to see if a 9.5 wheel will fit back there in the rear. If I have to get a wider fender thats cool but I dont want to widen in the rear. I already plan on rolling them a buddy of mine went in halfs and we are buying the perfessional roller.

dont run the spacers. 18x9.5+25 will fit fine back there. maybe slight roll, also depends on tire size. the front, maybe you can use the spacers, but i wouldnt. it should be fine. btw if you're interested in selling the spacers......i might need some when my overfenders get here.....*wink wink*

I will tell you the cheapest and best people to deal with if you need to order them. [email protected] me about them. Thats what I figured I just need to find a good lugnut to hold them on so I dont have to change the studs everytime I change wheels. My brakes are way to big for the stock wheel. That is why I had to run the spacer.
