Im thinking about getting these wheels...

[GT500916]

what you guys think?

These are JDM 5-ZIGEN TYPHOON

17x8 +27 front
17x9 +35 rear

the tires i want to put are 255/ 35 or 40? rear and 235/ 40 or 45 on the front..

would i have any fitting problems with those offsets? and what about the tire sizes should i go different ?

[k3smostwanted]

i would put the 45s on the rear and 40s on the front...or leave them the same. it doesnt matter. just figure out which height on the 17" wheels will keep your speedometer the most accurate and go from there.

nice wheels...what do they weigh in at???

[TatII]

the rear offset is perfect. you can fit either 255 on those or 265's.

my friend has a set with 245's on them and they're too skinny for that wheel. it looks stretched. so atleast a 255 on those. the front ones will fit 235's perfectly. and i think 27 offset is perfect too.

i regret gettin my 5 zigen typhoons because i got them in such a bad offset. i had them at 40 all around at 7.5 inches wide

but i got them for 800 bucks new shipped with tires. thats why i got them.

but nice deal. they look really nice on S14's. how much are you getting those for?

if you want to keep the speedo accurate. the stock wheel height is

205/55r16 i believe. so thats 205x.55=112mm

112mm/25.4= 4.409 inches for the side wall. so that x 2 = 8.818 inche

rim heigth is 16+ 2 side wall height so thats 16 + 8.818= 24.82 inches diameter

if you want to mount 255 wide wheels in the rear on 17's. the size needs to be


you will need 255/40R17. according that that same calculations the height will be 25.0 inches flat.

if your running 255/35R17. then it will be too short at 24. inches flat. i'd rather run a slightly taller taller tire becasu when the tire wears out by only 2 tenths of an inch your speedo would be perfect. while the other will be underdriven too much.

if you want to run 265's in the rear. you will need

235/45R17. this will give you the total height off 24.4 inches almost a perfect match for the stock tires.

i think those are like 20lbs each or something... here i have a good link for checking on wheel weights keep it, it comes in handy

and isnt it the wider you go the less you should go ni the sidewall because its like the % of the width or something, i dont remember, thats why some people have 35 rear and 40 front but yet the rear look same as front sometimes taller because its actually wider...

yea im pretty sure you can reconfig the Speedometer, and those Typhoons will be pretty awesome on your black S14... good selection

[GT500916]

no i dont think there is a way to adjust the speedo, because its electronical , but then again im not sure... but its pointless to adjust it when you can just same height wheel and tire set up..

any offset above 30 on an S14 is weaksauce.

Get the Advan three spoke wheels. Expensive, but woth it. Those are the most kick ass wheels on the s14's and s15's.
