so, im ordering new wheels this week and i want to know if i can fit a 18x9.5 +25 offset on the front of my s14? i checked all the usual 240 sites and couldnt find an answer so im wondering if anyone has tried a fitment like this locally,

im also going to order a set of coilovers and i cannot decide between the 9kg/8kg spring rates and the 12kg/10kg configuration so if anyone has any input on that it would also be appreciated

these are the wheels im going to try to fit

I would get the higher spring rates, and you should have no problem fitting those wheels, what size are you going with for the rear?

it would be the same offset / width for the rears, i wish they made a 10inch but for now 9.5/+25 is the widest you can get, im going with a 265/35/18 in the rear with 235/40/18 in the front unless someone suggests something else that makes sense.

If you daily drive this car or are new to the low/coilover world, don't get 12/10.

Agreed its gonna be STIFF. so if your looking for some comfort go with 9k/7k"s

10-8 or 8-6 is what you are going to want.

8k 6k is plenty for a lighter car that has decent power. Any stiffer will work for drifting but will make it harder to set the suspension for better grip and do what you want it to do. It will just have almost no body roll or compromise in the suspension.
