Here's 17x8 +35 front with a 6mm spacer (so the 245s clear the struts)

The second set would look much better in my opinion. Personally, I think s14's need 18's for street/show wheels..

Also, the widths and offsets are better.

Let me guess, your getting Sport Max's?

I'd add a little more sidewall on the front: 225/40-18. Its a more common size and closer to OEM diameter too.
