Hey all.
I've currently got stock s14a wheels on my s14a so needs changing.
Originally wanted 17s due to costs but think I'm settling on 18s as more about.
I've seen 2 set of XXR 527s but different sizes and wondered which would be beneficial.
I ideally want it to sit in the arch, I can roll the arch lip but if avoidable be nice.
First set is local and up for £450, 18x8.75j et20 fronts and 18x9.75j et20 rears.
Second is £500 but would need to pay for postage. They're 18x8.75 et35 all round. Imagine having a similar J means cheaper tyres which is handy.
Appreciate all help as in a pickle

18x8.75 et20 will fit fine on the fronts and 18x9.75 et20 will fit on the rear but you will need a good roll/pull on the arch to make them fit good

18x8.75 et35 will fit fine all round but may require a small spacer to clear the struts
 
Back in the day I used to run some BR Sport 17x8 and 17x9 relatively high offset on my S14a and they looked the f*ing kiddy... I had some 18" veilside andrew F's and they were HUGE, 17's look killer on a slammed stock-body S14a - wouldn't go bigger. Even R32 GTR 16x8's look immense on them!!

Good to hear, will deffo keep my eye out for a nice set of 17s really depends what I can grab first haha
 
No worries bro, if I manage to find a pic I'll post it up.. Truthfully, I'd avoid the 'hella-flush' fitment, one it's a bastard headache getting it right, and 2 police are cracking down on stretched tyres in the uk so it's only a matter of time before getting nobbled. Plus the modern resurgence of the mid-90's euro fad is losing popularity due to looking, well, pretty sh*t.
