Ok, well, if you plan on keeping stock ride height, that MAY pass, but then again, my 18x10 -17s wouldn't rub on a car rocking stock ride height (well, it would the inside of the well, but thats not the argument.) Even on a mild drop, the wheels will camber in causing the wheel to sink in more. But of course camber is a variable decided by the use of the car.

I don't have to justify my idea of proper, you will never see my from eyes. I can accept that. I am just going to stop here because the main point of my original post is that the stagger on those wheels is horrible. There would be a terrible difference in fender gap between the front and back, and that is what makes those wheels so gay.

now please, make another attempt to knock my personal style, I don't give a fuck or get butt hurt about it because your opinion means nothing to me.

A 10" wide wheel with -17 offset would have 110mm rear spacing, a stock 6.5" wide +40 offset S14 wheel has 122.55mm rear spacing, putting it closer to the frame inside than your 10" wheel, if you've got it close on stock ride height, something is seriously wrong.

I wont have a bunch of negative camber after lowering it because i'll be getting it aligned. Traction will be the name of the game. There is just no practicality in running a 9/10/11" rim, then installing a 215-225mm tire, and retarded negative camber just to say that you've got 9/10/11" rims, which is what most do.

I'll stick to an 8" rim and a 235-245, and keep them within the stock quarter panels.
