I'll plug this application again because it's so damn useful: aftermarket wheels - 1000RIMS

Looking at your width/offset for the front, I'd recommend nothing larger than a 255/35 in front if you are planning on using stock fenders with a roll, acceptable camber, clearing your suspension, and having next to no rubbing issues with the fender well. My personal experience with an 18x10 et+7 using a 255/35 was horrible...had to pull the fronts about an inch to make it look right, fender buckled blah blah so starting over right this time. I know gsracer had 18x10 +18 with a 275/35 at one point, so maybe he could chime in on that fitment.

For the rear, I know from experience an 18x10 +23 with 255/35 cleared with room to spare with a roll/1 inch pull. However, you are planning on running a 295/35, so you'd have to do at least that to make it look right. I think with a small pull you'd have it looking perfect. Some people frown on a tire stagger that far apart in width (255/295) but I think you'd be okay especially if you are making good power...may have some understeer, so you could dial in minimal toe out/zero toe to avoid that. That may make it more twitchy though, especially in a straight line. What's your purpose for the S14?
