Wheel size opinions??

[ryan15]

I have a choice of 17x9.5 15 offset or 17x9 30 offset, I got 4 free good tread 225/45/17 zexius tires from work for now. The problem is im not the kinda fan boy to stretch the **** out of tires to get hella wide tires on my car. This is going on a s14 and eventually I want to put some decent sized tires on it and I think my options might be limited with the lower offset/wider wheel. If anyone is running a similar setup on their s14`s please chime in.

wtf.

s13 or s14, you definitely want the 17x9.5 +15 over that +30.

lets be serious, google "wheel offset calculator" and get some knowledge.

also, going with a wider tread will only mean you either have to lift your car up more (if its even that low to begin with) or do more body work/overfenders to cover the wheel.

its what you want, tire size. but for the wheel itself, you want the 17x9.5 +15s.

See the thing is I dont want some crazy fender work, or worthless 3 degree camber, I want 255`s all around I need to know if this is possible with 15 offset with out major fender work, and I have been around s chassis for 4yrs now, I know how offsets work, with the 9.5`s I will have about 20-21mm more out toward the fender.

Also in my sig I have 18x8 30 offset with 225/45/18 in front with 1.8 degrees of neg camber, I really dont want much more camber than that, after that its pointless.

Did you wanna run 255 on all four so you can rotate tires?

I don't know anyone who's running 255 up front without a pull or widebody fenders on 9.5s at +15.

This will help you visualize.

245`s would be fine, I read through that thread quite a bit... looks like im gonna go with the 9.5 15 offsets, I might have to roll the inner lip, but thats no big deal.
