17x8 +35 with 235/40/17 tires on s14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

With 17x8 you shouldnt have any problems at all, i've seen guys running 17x10's in the rear with little modification, i'm probably going with 17x9's +35 offset all around so i can also rotate my tires. Like I said you should not have any problems at all. What wheels are you buying or do you have and do you have like the Z32 brake upgrade at all??

i'll be throwing on a set of 5zigen typhoons. I dont have the z32 brake upgrade and dont have coilovers, just tein/agx. Thanks!

Yeah you will be fine, there shouldnt be any problem, the only time i've seen people start running into rolling fenders is like 10'' wide tires with really stretched rubber, specially 18's.

Check out the Group buy section they have a group buy on 5zigen FNO1R-C's the new ones with the silver lip and people where asking about how big of a wheel and tire combo they can go, so check that out, might also help you decide, i know that it's not the exact same wheel but it's still 5zigen.

yah, i figured i could definitely run a wider wheel without having to do anything crazy, but i was worried that it might not look flush at all and look like its way too sunk into the fender.

+38 17*8 on the front +38 17*9 on the rear with plenty room 5zigen black racing went with 45 profile tyres up front however.

how flush are the rims to the fenders? I know this is a subjective thing because everybody considers flush differently but do the rims look sunk in? Do you have pics of your setup? Thanks!

No they don't look sunk in to my eye anyway hopefully wetodd works on this site.
