What offset? I can tell you from experience the stock S14 wheels (16x6.5 +30) fit fine and RPF1 (17x9 +22) fit fine.

If you havent bought the lug/brake parts yet, I'd say to stay away from it. Honestly, it's a massive waste unless you have a massive motorsports calendar each year. You dont need bigger brakes at all, I used to do 15 minute sessions on Hockenheim with stock sized brakes and didn't have issues. The only thing bigger brakes is going to give you is worse gas mileage and less horsepower due to a greatly increased unsprung mass at each corner.
