Similar Q..

I bought some old Volk racing wheels, 17x8 and 17x9..problem is I think they are off a supra...****ty offset especially in the front, something close to 17x8+45..

What kind of tire can I run without rubbing? (Koni + RS*R springs, noi coilovers)

I hope at least 225

Don't go wider than 205/55/16 on s14 wheels, unless they are ultra high performance azenis 615s or something of the like with extremely stiff sidwalls.

Gepeto: Those won't clear. You will need a spacer.

That's what I thought.

The good side is I need new studs in the front anyways , they are getting old and crappy.

I Hate spacers though, but these wheels are cool

I ran a 225 on my SE wheels when I first got my car, but that was just the result of ignorance. I'd suggest a 205, MAYBE a 215 depending on the tire.
