the OE offset is like what +43 on the 16s for a 6.5" rim. before hitting anything you should ask what’s the safest width of tire I can run on a 7.5" wheel. Wheels that narrow, when spaced will look like poo. Resell them to a fwd person.
I didn’t think 225/45 was a bad choice for a 7.5in tire.
They would look better then the 15in rims i have now thats for sure!
Problem is im still 4 bolt and i cant find shit where i live for 4 bolt with with any kind of offset at all! Ive seen SER spec v rims on a s14 without spacers but not sure what tire they run or how close they are to hitting. i agree that wider would look better and closer to flush but i gotta work with what i can find locally
You definitely won’t clear your springs with that offset. I got 8.25" wheels with +25 offset and i only have half an inch of room between my tires and coils in the front, rear has a bit more space. If you do the math, you’ll probably need 20-25mm spacers depending on your struts n springs.
Since you’ve already bought them, try em on and see how what size spacer you need… if you don’t want spacers though, you’ll have to resell em.
I run 235/40/17. And ya, i noticed the wtb post lol, stock lugs will go past the 25mm spacer. I was in this dilemma just this past week, I wanted a better stance in the rear (don’t want a staggered setup either) so I opted to put in 25mm spacers after people saying they’d clear the stock lugs but you need like 28mm spacers to do so.
I’d say just to resell the wheels and get proper offset, save yourself the headache.
Wheels were suposed to be et45 which was written on the box however wheels are stamped et40
Mounted one up front as a test and it does clear the strut but only by 5mm and the tire will be wider then that so good new is they clear, bad news is im still better off getting new wheels
Anyone on here have some wheels they wanna ship to nova scotia?

oh and 17x9 at +20 is 1mm less clearance then 17x7.5 at +40…
so know that what the hell do s14 guys run for wheels!!!
When you tested fitted your rims did you actually drop the car down to see how it sits or did you just toss it on when it was in the air? If you dont have rubber put it down on wood.
On the other note . Why are you getting honda wheels for nissan? 7.5" is such to small for s14 fenders. Atleast run 9 or even 8.5 with lower offset.
