I read the wheel fitment thread a few times. I know what I can fit but im currious to know what size wheel spacers you would use with a 17x9 front and 17x10 rear +35 all around on an s14 with avg. camber. I do not want to run too much camber for my tires sake(-3 front -2 rear).

what would you run ?

Tires will be 245/40 and 255/40.

Why not get wheels with better offsets?

well thats a great idea, I totally would if I did not just get scammed by some fuck head on nico for $800.

This is what I have, no one wants to buy them and I do not have money for wheels with the right offset.

Care to chip in and help a guy buy some new wheels ?

front: 15mm or 20mm = 17x9 +20 or +15

rear: 20mm = 17x10 +15

you can look for setup with similar sizes. i believe the fn01rc's that everyone and their brother has are 17x9+20 and 17x10+12 or something along those lines.

Go with more camber, I am at 4.6 degrees and my tires hold up fine.

NICO = the ghey. Had to say it. As for spacers, 25mm all around at least.

at least a 5mm up front or else u will hit the coilover.
anyway, put the wheels on first and then see what size spacer u would want.
im running r33's with are +30 offset
front is running 12mm spacer and rear is running 18mm
for me, i had to use at least a 8mm in the front to clear my KBee coilovers

I thought spacers were bad for your wheel bearings?

They can only be as bad as low offset wheels are, since the whole assembly is bolted tight.
