I just purchased these wheels on ebay and before I send the money I want to make sure that they will fit my car. they are 18's. and the tire size is 245/40/8.5'' with a +36mm offset in the front and 275/35/9.5'' with a +35mm offset in the rear. Please anyone who knows offsets for an s14 let me know if these wheels will fit. i got megan racing coils to go with it so stock suspension wont be in the way.

Thanks,Pete

will it fit? yeah, but those offsets aren't the best for s14. I think to get that real flush look you need to have wheels in the +20-26mm offset range, if not lower.

You should have searched a bit carefully before you made the purchase... That offset will fit sure but will look horribly on 240s..

Just purchase the wheels for now and purchase a set of spacers.

Its wrong to bid on something and not pay for it because you decided you dont like it anymore...

Spacers are your answer

well.. so basically you have :

18x8.5 +36 in the front18x9.5 +35 in the rears

what kind of wheels are they... can you post up a picture of them?

They will fit, you might have problems with the clearing the coils... I had 15x7 +35 wheels on my car and they looked sunken in..

those offset are better off on a S13.

you may need a 10~20mm bolt on spacer for them to be sitting flush.. depends on what look you want.
