I have a s14 on intrax springs on gr2's struts, I have 300zx front brakes. I think thats everything that would effect fitment. Also can I get some help with tire sizes. Here r the rims

The 15 inch se wheels will clear those brakes, so 17s should

theyll clear

if you ever got coilovers theyd need a 5mm spacer up front to clear though

they make that same wheel in a +17 offset, you might see if you can get that one instead, itd clear everything that way

the higher offset makes it sit closer to the suspension, a lower offset lets it clear the suspension better but it means you need to do fender work to fit it

so itll clear the fender better but when you start getting to this point width wise you get to the point where you have to do fender work to let the wheel sit far enough out that itll clear the suspension if you have coilovers

so like i said, if you ever plan on getting coilovers, youll want the +17
