I badly need some help from you guys out there! I have a simple stock body S14a with Tein Flex coilovers, and I need some help with offsets on Work Meister S1 and/or SSR Professor SP-1 in 18inch!

What to choose? If you see my list under here, I found these cars and sizes on rimtuck.com, but which offset should I go for? My car is a daily btw, and I dont have any plans of stylingkit...

Work Meister S1 3 piece

• (Front) 18x9,5 +3 and (Rear)18x10 +12 (#296)

• (Front) 18x9,5 +1 and (Rear) 18x10,5 +12 (#634)

• (Front) 18x9 +5 and (Rear) 18x10 -5 (#387)

• (Front) 18x9 +16 and (Rear) 18x10 +18 (#401)

• (Front) 18x9 +14 and (Rear) 18x10 +0 (Quail from NicoClub, SXOC)

SSR Professor SP-1

• (Front) 18x10 +16 and (Rear) 18x10 +24 (#260)

• (Front) 18x9 +? and (Rear) 18x10 +? (http://maydaygarage.com/2009/0...40sx/ )

^^ Yeah? This is the best offsets of these? No more or less? Or should I say "the perfect fitment" on a S14a?

No need to add spacers? Do you know what kind of disk I should run?

disk?

• (Front) 18x9 +16 and (Rear) 18x10 +18 (#401)those sizes will workbut you Will have to Pull your rear QPs and roll the fronts. Thats with a 245/40 REAR and a 225/40 FRONT.

Reference Shot:F- 18x9 +16 225/40/18R- 18x10 +18 245/40/18

Rear is pulled ~5mm, front is rolled.

What about 18x10,5 in the rear with the right offset? More pull in the back than 18x10 or pretty the same?

Fitment is subjective. Kind of like paint.You can't please everyone. From personal experience, I would enjoy the quoted size.As for disk size, depends on your brakes.IIRC, A disk clears most stock brakes. If 18x10 +16 needs a pull, then 18x10.5 +16 would need a pull also.0.25" more.

What about this setup in SSR Professor SP-1 18x9 +11/+3/-7 in front and 18x10 +11 or 18x10,5 +18/+5 in the rear? And which tire size and brand to them? Btw, I have stock brakes around.. Maybe I have some plans for the front in the future?

Will it clarify my Tein Flex coilovers? Too much pull?
