Wheel offset help

[xsublimefrekx]

Im sorry if i missed a guide somewhere, i searched and looked at the FAQ for a little bit but i still want some help. I have a 98 s14 and im looking at a set of TE 37's and i want to know how well the will fit. They are 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22. I dont have coilovers, just springs and struts. I assume ill need a fender roll in the rear. I am also wondering how flush they will be. I think the offset is pretty common and looks good from what pictures and things i have read. Thanks for the help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think 18x9.5 +22 will clear your front suspension... although IIRC spring/strut combos have better clearnances than coilovers. Also, with those sizes, what tires are you planning to run with? Tire sizes may or may not determine how much of a roll/pull you'll be needing.

i havent thought about tire sizes yet. I was going to but the wheels now and do tires in a couple of weeks seeing that its till crappy weather up here. i was planning on running a tire with a little bit of a stretch so i wouldnt have to roll /pull the fenders that much.

Well, if you're still planning on running 9.5s up front, you're gonna have to go with a lower offset. Hell, my buddy had to run a 5mm spacer to clear his 9.5" +15 up front from rubbing on suspension. Which means you're gonna need an offset smaller, possibly a +10 or something.

AND, +10 on a 9.5" isn't easy as cake either. Yes, you'll need a stretch for better clearance. Also, you may want to look into pulling your front fenders a bit.
