For an S14 or S14a 200SX, the setup our customers run most is 18x9.5 +22 in 5x114.3, with four customer cars on the SpeedWorks SW10 or SW12 in that exact size. The S13 Silvia and 180SX are trickier because the stud pattern varies by model and by what has been done to the car, so check whether yours is 4-stud or 5-stud first. Customer S13s in our gallery run SW04 18x8 +38 and SW15 18x9.5 +22 (5x114.3).
Check your stud pattern first
- S14 / S14a 200SX: 5x114.3. Every customer S14 and S14a in our gallery runs 5x114.3 wheels.
- S13 Silvia / 180SX: many came from the factory with 4x114.3, and plenty of drift and street cars have since been converted to 5x114.3. Count the studs on your car before ordering.
- Hub centre bore: 66.1 mm. SW wheels have a 73.1 mm bore, so use a 73.1 to 66.1 mm hub-centric ring.
For factory wheel and tyre sizes, check your placard or the wheels currently fitted.

S14 and S14a 200SX wheels
18x9.5 +22: the proven S14 fit
Three customer 200SXs run the SW10 in 18x9.5 +22. It is a cast wheel in Hyper Silver, from $225 per wheel, and it gives the classic silver look that suits the S14 shape. Another S14a runs the SW12 10-spoke in Gloss White & Machine Lip, from $250 per wheel.
The same 5x114.3 18x9.5 +22 size and offset is also made in SW14 (Matte Gunmetal), SW15 (Hyper Black), SW17 (retro deep lip) and SW18 (Bronze mesh). The size matches our customer cars, but check offset, brake and guard clearance on your own car before fitting.
18x9.5 +22 is a fairly aggressive fit. Depending on ride height, tyres and guards it may need guard work or a lowered ride height; ask us with details of your car.
A milder S14 option
If you want something less aggressive, 18x8.5 in a higher offset will sit further inboard. SW10 also comes in 18x8.5 +38, and SW15 and SW14 in 18x8.5 +35. We do not have a customer S14 on these sizes yet, so the stud pattern matches but offset, brake and guard clearance must be checked on your car. On paper, 18x8.5 +38 sits about 29 mm further in at the face than 18x9.5 +22 (rim edge only).
S13 Silvia and 180SX wheels
5-stud S13s
A customer's S13 drift car runs the SW15 in 18x9.5 +22, a flow-formed 6-spoke in Hyper Black, from $250 per wheel. Another S13 runs the SW04 in 18x8 +38, a cast wheel drilled for 5x100 and 5x114.3 in Bronze or Hyper Black, from $225 per wheel. The 18x8 +38 is the tamer of the two and sits about 35 mm further in at the face than 18x9.5 +22.
4-stud S13s
If your S13 or 180SX is still 4x114.3, our SW08 is drilled for 4x100 and 4x114.3. It is a deep-dish 15x8 +15 old-school JDM wheel in Hyper Black & Machine Lip, from $212.50 per wheel. We do not yet have an S13 on SW08 in the gallery, so while the stud pattern matches, offset, brake clearance and guards must be checked first. A 15-inch wheel also has to clear your brakes, so message us if you have upgraded calipers.
Comparing the sizes
Use our wheel offset calculator to compare your current wheels against any of these. As a rough guide from rim width and offset alone:
- 18x8 +38 vs 18x9.5 +22: the 9.5 sits about 35 mm further out at the face and about 3 mm further in at the back.
- 18x8.5 +38 vs 18x9.5 +22: the 9.5 sits about 29 mm further out at the face, and its back edge actually sits about 3 mm less far inboard.
