Always wanted to try them on my car, and since my brother is selling his car tomorrow i decided to fit them on my car. The wheels are aftermarket Saleen wheels: fronts are 18x9 with 265/40R18, backs are also 18x10 with 285/45R18 i believe. I Love how my car looks with them on and will pick some for myself this spring. Also I know that there is a small wheel gap, this is because my car set up for the winter.

I run 03-04 chrome cobra wheels on my Kouki. People give me s*** all the time for it. I could really care less though.

no rubbing issues on level ground with a fully turned steering wheel in the front. No rubbing in the back at 45MPH going over a huge bump. I have very stiff coilovers so that helps out.

They fit with huge brembo brakes on mustangs... so i guess they should be fine with any brakes on a 240...

The tires are actually about 1/2 inch away from my coilover on the inside and are even with the fender and quarter panel on the outside. But if i got a set for myself i would go with 245 instead of 265 up front just to be safe.

BTW: I LOVE THE CHROME, but i do also think they look larger then they actually are.. currently I'm looking at white or silver... maybe polished finish to get for myself

Just make sure to measure the backspace right, i know for a fact that with stock struts or coilovers on s13 in the back a 17x10.5 cobra r deep dish wheels won't work, dont know how much different it is on s14, but with my setup im almost touching the strut with 18x10.

As for the lowering i know that it needs to be lower but didn't want to mess with my winter setup. I love chrome but as previously stated i will probably go with a different finish. I was going to get some sideskirts but i dont see the need to add more weight and spend money on the skirts and paint. As for the lip i love my factory lip(just needs to be repainted).
