I’m looking at buying a pair of 17" Work Equips, the fronts have X7,+28 and the rear has X9,+42 offset. I’m not sure I’m feeling the rear offset though. What’s the stock S14 wheel setup? I’ve searched and winced though a bunch of wheel fitment threads that are just garbage. Last year I saw a diagram on SON explaining how offset works and I thought it was pretty clear explanation(just can’t remember though). Can anyone reference a great thread on wheel fitment? Thanks…And I know this is probably older than the SR vs KA discussion. ---

yea, those sizes are pretty weak. Something more suited for a s2k, mr2 or such. ![http://www.discounttiredirect.com/images/wheel.offset.gif](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/images/wheel.offset.gif) You’d need spacers in the rear for sure to make them clear suspension. 20-25mm spacers all around to get em flush. ---

Thanks for the diagram sidewayz. The offset is weak…It’s hard to find those Works though! I might try them on to see what they look like. ---

to make that sizing flush… a x7 wide rim has to be at least 0 offset … or even negatives to be flush. a x9 id say ud want at least 20offset or lower aswell. so both ul need to get 25mm spacers to look anything decent. ---
