Just thought id show you what I know will fit to S15's and save you time going through the hassle of researching endlessly.
Recommended offsets by Work are :
F 18x8 +35
R 18x9 +38
This is what they will look like (very similar offsets on a GTR)
And heres what you can do with a staggered set. This particular S15 is running Tein coilovers (notorious for poorer clearance).
F 17x8.5 +25 (5mm spacer)
R 18x9 +20
There are other options like getting an 18x10 on the rear but you will need to run camber and theres no guarantee that it will clear the coilovers. Arches will also need rolling and possibly flared too. Theres a gentlemen on the nissansilvia forums who gave me this advice.
"Hey buddy, thanks for the comments. Aero is a nice one to have. With white, id consider getting white wheels and carbon bonnet to manage the look of the car. For the sizing to maximise the dish on standard gaurds id run the 18x10 + 38 on the rear, and 18x9+30 upfront. This will push the wheels out as far as possible and give the car a tough appeal without having to modify the gaurds ridiculously!
I currently run 18x9 + 29 upfront and 18x10+37 on the rear. I ended up with 225/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear, however watch out what tyres you buy as the front you want to stretch a little. I had continental contact sports upfront which dont have much stretch and the back I originally had 235/40/18 however that was too stretched so I put some 255/35/18 on today.
As for camber, I run a fair bit upfront which is -2.5deg and on the rear I run -2deg. The car sits pretty low with the kit on but you should be fine on the aero. I rolled both front and rear guards so the lips are flat back on the bodywork, and i took out the inner guards on the front so the tyres dont scrub. You will also have to raise the wiring look up which is in the drivers guard so you dont scrub that out too
Id even consider going the 17x8.5+25 upfront and the 17x10+38 on the rear. Wouldnt be a bad setup but Im not too sure how much dish you will get upfront. Those will probably be the choices of wheel sizes id use"
And heres his car.
So dependant on how much work you're willing to put in, you an get some pretty decent size rims to fit. Anyway hope this helped someone. Ciao!
