Hi, does anybody have a picture of an s14\s14a whit 18"FN01R-C rims. And do you know what kind of offset to use?

Sorry for my bad English. This has probably been posted before but I didin`t find anything

your English is great, nothing to worry about. The picture thread in the Chat section definately has what you are looking for. The only thing that is a problem is that you will have to search through the pages until you come to the picture you are looking for.

the 18x9.5 is the best 18" fn01rc in my opinion. if you want the wheel flush with/slightly inside the fender/guard you should go with the +22 offset front and rear. If you are unsure about going with the +12, get +22. If you want the lip of the wheel slightly outside the fender/guard you should go with the +12 offest. You may need to roll the fender/pump the guard to fit this wheel. you will have to run a stretched tire if you get the +12 offset on that wheel also. DO NOT get the offsets that 5zigen recommends. They will be way inside your fender.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have search the everywhere, but I cant find any pictures of the 18", people only run 17"(why...I dont know). I probably go for the+22. They are wery strict here I live on wheels that go outside the fenders(Norway)

RBS14 · 11-08-2004, 03:03 PM

yea, even with a stretched tire, some of the sidewall is outside of the fender, which they will nail you for over there right? the wheel can be outside the fender, but not the tire right? hence stretched tires. in this case, definately go with the +22 then.

Personally, I went with 17's for a couple reasons. The main one was the price of tires. The other is that getting the front of my S14 as low as I like it is almost impossible with 18's. I've seen a couple S14's with 18" fno1rc's, they look really good! Much nicer than 17". So if you like how the 17's look, I can guarantee you will like how the 18's look!

??sorry mad bad understanding but what does stretched tires mean?

RBS14 · 11-08-2004, 04:33 PM

stretched tires = tires that are narrower than the wheel. That way you can have the lip of the wheel flush with or even outside the fender, with the tire still being inside the fender.

SilviaDriver · 11-08-2004, 09:26 PM

speeddreamz · 11-08-2004, 09:35 PM

Silvia Driver, Are the 18x9.5's avalible in that aggresive rear rim (17x10's) are more aggresive looking than the normal 17x9/8/7 etc. They have sort of a "face 2" look almost? I cannot tell from the picture.

SilviaDriver · 11-08-2004, 09:40 PM

the 18x9.5 have a sunken face..they are only sunken SLIGHTLY. 18s are standard sunken like that, and do not have the crazy sunken like 17x10 [which i think is ugly]

speeddreamz · 11-08-2004, 09:42 PM

Oh, ok gotcha, thanks ! i've so many different things.

SilviaDriver · 11-08-2004, 09:46 PM
