The wheels for my S14 will be arriving soon and I need to purchase tires. The wheels are Work XD9 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 +18 in the rear. I hate the stretched tire look, and I will be running near factory camber. I want to pull the rear to a nice flare, and would like a nice flush look. What tire sizes do you recommend without causing rubbing on the coilover, and to provide a nice amount of rubber on the ground?

I was thinking that I could better evaluate the amount I would have to pull the fenders based on the tire size I was running. Would it be better to base the tire size on the pull? I have never done a pull, so I dont know how far I can go

I'd base the pull around the tire you choose, you don't want too much pull. Then it looks goofy.

I'd probably run 225/35 in the front and 255/35 in the rear. Because those are the smallest overall diameter/widest tires without getting into crazy expensive stuff. You could probably do a 225/40 in the front but it might rub, depending on ride height. I'm not too familiar with S14s so I dunno whether the smaller diameter of the 225/35 is necessary to prevent rubbing... but based on what I've seen with my S13, smaller overall diameter is always better in the front.

The 255/35 might not be enough beef, so you could do 265/35, if you want more rubber.

Again, not too familiar with S14s so I don't know much about fender clearance, but those tires are kinda what I would be looking at.

You dont want a stretch look...then get the same width tires as the rims. 9j rims = 225 or 235/40s, 10j rims = 255 or 265/35 18s. You stuff those wheels tho, with no camber, prepare to do a pretty decent pull at the back. And no, nothing will rub the suspension (unless you have some really shitty ones that has some really thick design).

Thank you, those are the exact sizes that I was considering. Now that I pretty much know the size I want, what manufacturers do you guys recommend? I dont want to get crazy, they wont see any track use, as I have a seperate set for that.
