my friend paul is selling me his 17x9 TE37s for 900 for all 4 (fronts are acctually 8 and a half) off of his 95 supra, my question is will i have offset trouble with the S14 SE 5 lug hubs with brembo caliper/rotors infront and 300zx rear brakes as far as the offset?

i dont know the exact offsets of the wheels im getting nor the offset needed for what i have, so i come here for some advice :)

plus, is 9 inch too wide? whats the skinniest tire i can run on a 9 inch wheel without looking retarded (bead farther out then the sidewall is bad)

If he's your friend, then he should let you put them on your car to check clearances. That will be easier than asking these clowns about offsets and stuff. :icesangel

I'd say they won't fit. OE Supra wheels are a 50mm offset, way high, so unless he went much lower you'll hit the brakes and coilovers. You'd need a minimum of 30mm, but that might even rub the coilovers. Try them on the car first.
