Okay .... I have been searching for the past 2+ hours, found alot of threads that said 8" wide rims in the frony and 9" wide rims in the rear fit fine, but noone seemed to list their offsets. I tried to use the Offset Calculator in the "Tire FAQ" Sticky, but I just get confused trying to understand it. Anyone want to give me a hand, or point me in the right direction. I don't mind doing the leg work, and learning, just need a guide.

elaborate a little. S13 or S14? are you gonna put on coilovers?

The best way to figure things out is, if you have a set of wheels in mind, plug the numbers (width / offset) into the offset calculator and head out to the garage with a ruler. Remember most coilovers are gonna be slightly larger than the stock strut, so take that into account when measuring.

Most models of Volk wheels that come in 8" width have plenty offsets to choose from. Stick to an offset in the mid to upper 20's, and you should clear coilovers without a problem.
