Hey guys My buddy has some AVS rims that he gave to me. they came off of a Z32. I was wondering if they will fit on my S14

Front - 17X9 +38 w/ 235/40/17Rear - 18X9.5 +40 w/ 265/35/18

Thanks!

on stock suspension, a big MAYBE... those are mighty high offsets, I doubt the front will fit. The rear may work.

The easiest way, try em on, you already have em

Yeah I really want to put them on but my car is still 4-lug. The new wheels are 5-lug. I just dont wanna switch it to 5-lug then have the wheels not fit.

It takes less than 2 hours to convert to 5 lug w/ s14's . Worth the trouble for some free rims if u ask me.

The only one you really have to test is the front. Just do one hub, hee hee. That would take less than 30 minutes.

Worse comes to worse you "could" run a spacer... so you can make em fit if need be .

It all depends on how badly you want those rims, or what else you can do w/ em. You just gotta weigh your options.

Alright well the fton rims have 255/40/17's on them and the tires hit the strut. Would it be okay to run a 225/45/17 on a 17x9" rim?

I have 17x9 +35 and it doesn't fit on the front. Looks like it needs a 10mm spacer. This is with prokit and agx's btw.
