I see guys running wider rims than 17x8 and running skinnier tires than the 235's i'll be running. I also wanted to stick to the same size rims/tires on the front and back so i can rotate my tires. Anyways, how well will these rims fit on an s14, will they be flush with the tire size im running? Will these look sunk in? Please consider the tire size along with the rim before replying, thanks!
With a 17x8 rim you will have NO problems with the fender. The width of the tire has no relation to the offset. The offset is the factor for fender fitment. A +35 will set inside the fender about 15mm. Here's a pic of my car I've got 235/40R17 with 17x8 +25 rims on the front. NO mods to the fenders.

Also here's a tip, if you run 235/40 you'll get some rubbing on the inside wheel well in extreme turning situations. Go with a 235/35, less sidewall no rubbing issues. Mine rub sometimes when I hit a turn hard or when I'm in my parking space. Hope this helps.
