My front wheels are 17 x 8 with a +9 offset. To clear my brakes I need a 5mm spacer. I currently have a 20mm spacer with my 4 bolt s14 alloys. Heres where it gets tricky… you think its possible to run the 20mm spacer along with my 17 x 8 +9 offset without ridiculous camber and stock fenders on an s14 ( I seriously doubt it)? Would the 20mm spacers essentially make my 17 x 8 +9’s a -11 wheel?
I also have 25mm adapters on the rear. I’m pretty sure I’d have to get the rear fenders rolled to clear the adapters and my 17 x 9 +19 wheels.
I’m just hoping theres a chance in hell I can fit these damn things on my s14 without having to get a new spacer set up. Seems unlikely but no harm in asking.
I don’t think it will fit. Your front rims will stick out and the fender will have to be rolled/pulled.
It’s too bad that you are 4 bolt because I might need spacers for my new rims too. Effectively, what offset were you running with your stock wheels and spacers?
I’m not sure of the offset of stock 15" s14 4 bolts. I was running 20mm spacers up front and 25mm adapters in the back … had lots of room to go wider too.
Looks like I’ll have to go with plan b. Extended studs and 5mm spacers to clear my 17’s. 5mm spacers, studs and 25mm adapters to run my stock 15’s. ( yes stacked…wanna go with 25mm adapters in the front for ease of removal when running my 15’s) As for the rear… no clearance issues when the adapters are removed.
205 azenis willl look very similar to a 225 all season.
in fact when i had those azenis mounted on my wheels and all seasons for the rear my tire guy said that the azenis looked wider than the 225.
both at equal psi.
a fatter tire can make the wheels look a bit more flush too… not by much though.
i should rephrase that, having a tire that is stretched or fat can make the rim / tire package appear to be slightly further out or slightly further in.
im running +42 offset, and 245/35/18 i can still go a bit wider to a 255/30/18, and my fenders are not pulled of flared,
dude ud be rocking a nice offset i dont see why u would need a spacer to clear your brakes budd, uve got a backspacing of about 4 inches, more than enough to clear your brakes u would think, unless u got a mad dish going on with 0 sink on your spokes, post a pic if u can of what these look like
No shit sherlock, you’re running +42 offset, of course you don’t get any rubbing.
On another note, I just got my rims 17x9 +20 4x114.3, pics will be posted in another thread.[/quote]
if u stop and think u dont only rubb on the outside of the wheel, there is another side to a wheel u know the inside??? ever heard of it?? i have about 1 finger gap and my rear wheels are tucked, somethimes u need to go with a different offset so u do nt rub on the inside either, but i guess uve never had that issue
same all the way around, the have a pretty high offset, but there still flush with the fenders almost, no clearence issues untilk i tried putting 295’s on em’
… would just look boss wider…
