All personal preference. I'm running similar specs on my current Work Equips (18x10 +2 effectively/10.5 +10) and I'm on 225/40 fronts, 235/40 rears.

Are you rocking spacers? I got a z32 brake kit and wondering if the fronts will fit without spacers.

Yes, thats why I said effective. I'm running 20mm spacers but realistically, only needed like 9-10mm to clear. Kicker is, it's a Work Wheel, they have different faces for brake clearances. I've had a set of Equips that didn't need spacers and cleared my R32/Z32 brakes up front. Do you know what type face you have? O-disk, A-disk and R-disk?

No I am not sure what type of disk I got. I tried to get it fitted today the rears were perfect, and now installed. But the fronts couldn't clear the calipers, do you think a 10mm spacer would do the job? The shop was also saying I would need longer bolts.

According to Allen, you can make them all fit, but the A-Disc, and R-Disc work the best with s-chassis bigger brakes. It's like if you want to do work, or not do work, it still comes down to personal fitment and how much poke, camber, pull, you want to set up. Me, I like the way a 90mm lip looks and a no spacer, no brainer fitment so A-Disc in a 17x9+15 is the way to go. Rock just a slight camber, roll the lips, and done...at least all 'on paper'

did you need to do a pull up front to make it fit? Whats your camber?

Again, all depends on what the face is. Could be anywhere from 7mm to as much as 13mm from my experience. Yes, you'd need longer studs, 6mm slip on spacers are the most I'm willing to use on the stock studs. Anything more than that is butt pucker factor when I hit a pot hole or track the car goes up.

I'm running roughly 3* up front. If you roll the front fenders on an S-chassis, you're pretty much pulling it at the same time. S14s will take 10js up front with no issue, may have some rubbing issue at full lock, but nothing a big ass hammer can handle. S13s, I wouldnt run anything wider or bigger than a 17x9.5j. Damn wheel well is just freaking tiny compared to S14s.

So I ordered some Ichiba spacers 15mm. Would these extended wheel studs do the trick? Thanks for the help bro.

Nvm I believe the kit I got comes with extended wheel studs.
