S14 w/ 17x8 + 38? w/ 235/45s ? (Ive Searched)

[DRIFT2LIVE]

Okay, as a temporary wheel I have a chance to pick up a set of stock Evo 8 Rims with tires for 400 bucks (new tires too) and I think they would look decent for the time being...

Anyways Ive searched and searched and I don't know enough about wheels to determine this so I ask.

Will a stock Evo 8 Rim (17x8) w/ 235/45/17s (front and rear) fit a Zenki with Tein Flex Coilovers?

I'd appreciate no stupid answers. Just a yes or no would be awesome. I plan on picking these up tonight or tomorrow.

Would be really sunken. With that money you could get a set of properly sized sportmax rims...Since they're just temporary.

I mean for 400 bucks with almost brand new Potenza tires, I can't find a better deal. I did find some ASA AR1s (17x8) with a little curb rash on one wheel and 2 destroyed tires and 2 half tread 225 dunlops.

I figure I get the same size rim in better shape and new tires for the same damn price. And after seeing some pictures of a Zenki with evo 8 rims... I actually kind of dig it.

Spacers are required to run a + 38 on a coilover set-up?

I am coming from running stock Mazda Rims on my FC and whatever the cheapest used tires I could find to drift on. So my knowledge of wheel fitment is quite poor...

[simmode1]

I'd say, 15mm spacer, minimum. With coils, you're going to need to be less than +25 offset generally speaking.

[DRIFT2LIVE]

I mean 15mm at minimum... what is the most I should run?

I just want a good stance on it.

[musashin]

You may need a bit of a spacer simply to clear the coilovers, as in 5mm max. For a good stance, depending on how low and cambered you want it, between a 25mm spacer and a 35mm spacer would be good.

^^

Someone else confirm please? I only need 5mm to drive the car? And a 15-20-25mm to look sweet?

[musashin]

I'm talking for the fronts. In the front, generally a 9J +22 is considered the farthest in you can go in the fronts. That equals a 8J +35 in terms of inner clearance. Here, you can calculate for yourself:http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

A good spacer size for the rear is probably between 30-35mm.

[DRIFT2LIVE]

Alright, screw it I'm just gonna buy new rims and get the size and the offset I wanted and not do this whole wheel spacer game.

[musashin]

That's a good call. I was gonna say you could get the Evo wheels as winter wheels, but as you live in Georgia that doesn't seem like it'd be too much of an issue, lol.

[DRIFT2LIVE]

Yeah, its really not an issue. My car isn't my daily anyway just my weekend car.

I got a F250 Superduty 6.0 Diesel for my everyday/work truck.
