    They will fit but the amount of work you'll have to do is questionable.

    ET30 fit straight on (even with a 5mm spacer, so et25 - standard arches) with a 255/35/18 tyre

    Also the tyre size you choose to run will make a differencel!

    In theory with a streched tyre (225/40/18) should work with limited rolling

    We have GTR's in a et20 on order, which would be a nice compramise between the 30 and 12!!

    Don't want to upset anybody but 18x9.5" et30 with a 255/35/18 does often rub, I've seen the marks myself, and rolled the arches to make them fit. Its a very good size but on a car with corrected camber I don't think they fit, may be a 245 would do it as its very close

    18x9.5 in an et20 is an easy lip roll fitment and should look

    Just make sure you get the 9.5s for the front

    May be wasting my time here, but....

    Any plans to do a higher offset, like ET40 or close to that? S15's wont take that kind of offset with that width of wheel on corrected camber.

    Thats a bit odd, as we have them on two S14's, albeit with non adjusted camber..

    Non adjusted camber = 5mm for every 1 degree its out, non adjusted usually comes in around 3 degrees = 7-10 mm of extra room you don't have if you were running the correct 1/1.5 degree

    The rubbing I've seen on these is not bad, probably because owners drive around it, its worth about 3-4mm probably, which when you do the sums makes sense

    A member discount would be nice!!! Speed that up as im about to purchase new wheels any time soon. Just need to decide which colour ofthe GTR`s.

    I`m also wonder what ET to use, mayby so i want be needing any spacers.
    I want the 9.5 both in front and rear and will also be using 20 mm front wider fenders and 50 mm rearoverfenders. I want them to look real wide and cool!! Would ET12 work at the rear?? Tires will for the moment be 235/40/18 pirelli p-zero corsa R

    The car is a s14a.

    With corrected camber, that wont fit the S15

    Noticed you do 8.5j ET35, that should fit, do they still have the curve of the spokes, like the 9.5j's do?

    That would explain it

    As regards members discount, I'm pleased to offer all full members of the SXOC FREE delivery on all order placed in the UK aswell as free locking wheel nuts! (more specials to follow )

    As regards your S14a, this is similar to our own project car ( curently being seam welded ) With your wider arches et12 should go on all-round (with a little camber) and the possibility of spacers at the back, more details to follow as our project car comes on!!

    As regards your tyres, 235/40/18 will give a nice streched look on the 9.5" GTR's

    Unfortunately 9.5" with et35 is the highest we have
    Not helpful to all you S15 owners with corrected camber

    The 8.5" do have a curve, but not like the 9.5"

    9.5" et35 with a 245/20 and a rolled lip should fit an S15

    I know of quite a few guys with 9j ET38 and rolled lips, which is tight, a 9.5j ET35 would stick out, you would need to pull the lip out, something i'm not keen on doing due to risk of paint cracking etc.

    I know Keiran from here runs a 9.5j at the rear with around ET45, but has a spacer fitted, i'll try find out what size of spacer
