Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm here to seek help. I've done many searches on proper fitment for s14 wheels but looks like it's hard to find a good example. Here is the fitment that I need, I am looking forward to get the fn01R-c 17 inches, I have stock front fenders and VS rear wide fenders. What is the best wheel and tire size for a car like this?! please indicate the offset too. I'm pretty sure I'll get 17x10 +12 for rear, what size tires should I run? Is this wheel size wide enough to clear the rear fenders? For front wheels, I have no idea what size wheel and tire of fn01R should i get!? remember the front's got stock fenders. is 17x9 +15 too wide? cuz i know +35 wont clear the coilover and they dont have +25... or i should go with 17x8 +25? what size tires should I run in the front? Experience COUNTS, any feedback is welcome! Thanks all!!!

Yes, 17x9 +15 front. Easy to fit, just get ready to roll the fenders. I reccomend 235/40/17 for the 9s. Anywhere from 255/40 to 275/40 on the tens depending on how much you are willing to roll/pull and camber settings.

If your searches are not coming up with what you want, try changing your search terms. "Wheel size" will give you pages and pages of results. Just look for the wheel specs thread. The sizes you are looking for are not at all uncommon, so try harder and you will come up with plenty of examples.
