This question isnt for me, its for a friend, so please dont ask about the size, lol.

17X8.5 front18X9.5 rear

if you know the offset needed to put these on an s14 and have them flush with the wheel wells, let me know. Thanks alot for anyone who could help.

Your friend won't know until he test fits...with tire mounted on wheel, and vehicle put on the ground to check for clearance. Too vague a question to be answered. 9.5" is too wide(heavy) for a practical daily driven car IMO, assuming power output is close to s14 OEM numbers...

Kinda surprised Exar hasn't closed this thread for asking the "what offset" question.

i see no problem in asking what offset. the info provided in the sticky isnt enough. it provides stock, that doesnt tell me how far he can come out before it sticks out, measuring by hand is too inacurate if i can just ask. i know theres atleast 1-2 people on this forum running that size.
