i searched...will these fit?

18x8 with 225/40 all around, eibach sportline drop with tokico shocks on a S14 base (4 lug)

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/ADR/ADR.htm
scroll down to the VERSION-II rims

now, i am not looking for flames or anything, so please if youre going to lecture me on how else i could spend 1500 dollars, please don't. i searched, but i just want to make sure. from what i have found, these rims are a good fit. is this true? or should i go with 235/40?

s14

On my s14 5-lug, I have 235/35/18 in front and 265/35/18 in rear. It should be fine. If not I guess you can try spacers. Good luck.

dousan is right. Depends on the offset. I looked all over for the offset on these rims and was too lazy to scrub the inside. After I sold my Supra I just slapped them on and hope they didn't hit anything. The car is not lowered either. Here's a pic.

judging by the picture, the offset seems to be high, so you may have inner fender clearence issues. you can call wheelmax, and have them look up the offset for you, then you can post that here and i'm sure someone can tell you for sure.

actually, i've heard that wheelmax is pretty good with that stuff. i called once and they seemed to have all the specs avaliable. keep in mind, 85% of the wheels they sell are meant to fit hondas... the other 15% fit navigators... but it won't hurt to call!

okay i called them...the ones that i want are 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear and all have a +35 offset. with 225/40/18 tires will that fit a s14 with eibach sportlines? if they do, the problem now is, that they only have those in 5 lug...the ones that fit 4 lug are 18x7.5 with a +42 offset. bummer....how much is a basic 5 lug conversion?

okay...the other option would be spacers. i have searched, and...any reviews on the H&R ones? which one would you recommend if i get the +42 offset? basically, i would want the rims flushed with the fenders.
