Offsets on an S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Would a 17x8 +35 and a 18x9 +35 offset look alright on an S14 or would these be too high? Does anybody run a staggered size like this? I know plenty of people run staggered 17's all the way around or staggered 18's all the way around, but what effects would it give to run a 17 front and 18 rear? Would it be alright to drive on or would it make understeer a real pain?

Would anybody run this setup or would you rather run 17x8's all the way around and why?

A lot of guys with Z32's run a 17 front 18 rear setup like that. It is supposed to improve overall handling balance. I would assume that the same would be true for a Silvia or 240sx, but I am not 100% sure.

If you are a member of twinturbo.net, you might post a question there, or perhaps better yet, do a search on twinturbo.net (trust me on this... tt.net is seach or die.) for a little more clarity on it.
