So, here is my plan.

front: 14x8 0 offset with a 195/50/14 tire.
rear: 14x9 0 offset with a 195 or 205/50/14 tire.

I plan on running a ZG style flare on the back that is 3.5" wider than stock. will the rears sit flush or will i need to get a 10" wide wheel?

The front i am not worried about as i can space/roll and pull fenders etc.


Thoughts?

Any feedback is appreciated.

actually it won't let you run a 205 on a 9" wheel! i don't know about that, but 245's fit under stock fenders, so put some meat in there!

i don't think a 10" 0 offset will fit, its going to hit suspension

 

There is roughly 6" of backspace on a non SE rear. You can figure from there. Personally I'd go with 15" wheels as it really opens up your tire choices considerably.

 

for fronts will stick out 56.7mm further than stock with a 195/50/14 on a 14x8-0.

and rears will stick out 89.4mm further than stock with a 195/50/14 on a 14x9-20.


bear in mind this is just what i am thinking of doing. And no im not running wide tires like a 245. 205 is biggest lol

 

also.. back spacing on a stock wheel is about 4", and on the 9"wheel with a -20 offset the back spacing will be 4.25", so it will clear everything.

 

What's the advantage of stretching undersized tires onto those wheels?

 

why? if you must run a 205 tire, then a 15x7 is easy

 

Simply for looks. I have wheels and tires to use if and when i do auto-x

 

Crap, is that the new trend? I'm out of style yet again. And I had just ordered my spinner hubcaps!

I'm not even gonna lecture here. More parts on the market.

 

Spinner hub caps are legit. Make sure you get the Skull centered ones.

 

if you want a flush look and you are going to stretch your tires with those flares, you can get away with a 10"wide with a -25 offset (4.5"backspace) that should fit pretty nicely and flush to your flare
