I would say a 15-20mm spacer would be good depending on how flush you want it to look. As for tires a 225 up front and 235 out back should look fine. You may have to roll the fenders. Unless you got a real amazing deal on these you may want to sell them and buy rims with offsets that are better suited to our cars. ---

just leave it. Gram lights should clear the Z brakes and your stock rims are 16 x 6.5 +40 i believe. an 8 inch wide rim will be 18mm street-side compared to the stocker 8 - 6.5 = 1.5" = 36mm / 2 = 18mm i think that is about right seeing how the offset is the same. run a 5mm plate up front if you want to make it slightly mroe flush without dealing with the fiasco of spacers and studs. ---

> [@SAi](#): > > its for an s14 > but for 235 rear will that cut the tire when i am on the bumply road 235s should be fine. I’m running larger tires with a similar offset wheel and haven’t had any problems yet.
