What size rims are good for the S14?

im looking to by rims in the next month

since toronto streets have alot of pot holes , i dont want to buy anything to expensive .

what size is good to get for 18" like what offset etc…

please give me details if u no stuff about rims thanx

Chances of finding an 18" in low-offset are probablly slim to none, unless
you go and get a set of FWD style wheels (18x7, 18x7.5, etc.).

Why not get a set of 17"? Find somethind you like, and get them. My
guess is you want it more for looks so I guess offset shouldn’t really matter.

I’d look more into 16-17" or even 15", 18"+ is for looks really.

He wants 18". I’m pretty sure he wants it for looks.

If you want performance wheels, consider 16" or if you have the power
and money to push around 17", go for 17".

Sizes I’d consider are:

16x8 F/R +10 to +15 offset
17x8.x F, 17x9.x R +25 to +35 offset

Moved to Car Chat…

i want 18 b/c 17 are just a lil small . i think 18 will look better when dropped

would say 18 by 8 or 18.8.5 fit on my car

and would 17 by 8 fit on my car??

What’s your preference in style? 5-spoke, 6,7,8 spoke, split spoke, mesh? What tickels your fancy?

I just saw 18x9 and 18x10.5’s Volkes on a Lowered Black S14 with GP Sports Body Kit today and honetly they were :wackit:

17 by 8 would fit on your car easily.

ya man. i came on them twice. 18s definitly look nice and fit. you just might need a spacer.

You might need a spacer yeah, lol if you plan to run more than 10.5" :slight_smile:

how much slower would my car go if i decide to get 18 instead of 17 alot or just a little , ,
does anyone have 18" on a s14 here??

Depending on what rim/tire combo you go with, you will definately feel the decrease in performance off the start if you engine is stock.

It depends on the weight of the rims not the size.

You cant go fast with a auto in the first place
do a 5 speed swap

Size DOES matter… :wink: Literally.

17x9 +15 all around… but they dont make ricer rims in those sizes so you
might have to buy good rims :shock:

YO DEREK THIS IS A 240SX CLUB WHEN YOU GET A 240SX COME BACK AND TALK TO ME BUT YOU HAVE TO BRING BACK THAT SHIT BOX RX7 WHEREEVER YOU GOT IT FROM ( guessing from a garage sale ) , THANX

well if your in the club why dont you get out of your car at the next meet instead of just rolling through everytime?

Quit it.

And the childish behaviour will need to come to an end.
