I want to buy 18x9.5 Front & Rear Gold P45R 20 offset for my S14. But my Q is that if they will fit on the front without rubbing the Strut/Coilover. Do I need anything like Spacers? If you have pictures it would help Thanks

You're fine in the rears, but you'll need spacers up front. They wont clear the suspension up front. IIRC, you'll need at the most a +15 for a 9.5" to clear

wait a second.... if 18x9.5 +20 fit on an s13, why wouldn't they fit on an s14?

you know what, let me clarify.

9.5" +20 most likely won't clear coilover suspension up front (generally speaking, depending on what coilovers you have). If you have a spring/shock set up, you'll have a better chance in clearing suspension because the spring sits higher than the wheel instead of beside it...

if you have a 9.5" +20 and it clears your coilovers... let me know.

I understand that coilover clearance varies between manufacture and what not, but Broadfields running something like 5.50" back space and ?x9.5 +20 is something like 5.53" back space and since s14's are more short and stout than s13's, I just assumed they could swallow bigger wheels with ease.

No??
