Are you married to that size / et?

The reason I ask is because you're giving up a bit of room inboard...

On a 10" wide wheel, you should have something close to zero offset or even a little positive offset.

Since you're asking about 9.5" wheels and I assume coilovers around 60mm diameter springs; let me share my experience with 18x9.5's and 265's up front:

I had to push out to around a +17 to clear the rim on coilovers with 65mm diameter springs. And fwiw, 265's look a little stretched on a 9.5 IMO.

If you have the option, either go wider wheel or less aggressive offset.

It's even worse in the rear - if you want to run a square setup.
I think I remember reading another member in the max tire thread could get 12" wide et +20 and 335/30/18's in the back of an s13 with no spacer.

*i just realized you were asking about s14, so you might have another 5mm inboard up front because of the knuckles? (Sorry fuzzy memory here. )

Anyway, good luck!

Test fit if possible before purchasing, and report back here to let us know how it works out for you.
