Ok, i know some of these questions have been answered.. iv found several threads regarding wheel size and offset, but just want to be assured i am going the right direction with the wheel size i am looking at.

My setup: 95 S14, Tein lowering springs (1.5 front) (1.3 rear)

Looking at going with 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.. now the offset is what i am questioning, would +15 front and rear be good? And should i go a different offset for the rear? I do plan on upgrading to 300z brakes, so want to be sure the will clear (without spacers).

I have been playing around with a wheel offset calculator some, and between +10 and +15 keeps the wheel close to the stock backspacing. I may be doing this wrong though, so wanted to be sure.

Thanks for any advice Zilvia.
