he does have 305's on the rear so that would be my guess

Yeah, but if you look at the profile of the tire...the tool/wood he's using to show how they line up with the fender, the wood seems to be resting on the lips of the rim, not the edge of the tire. Seems like the rim itself sticks out further than the F14's I have on my Z.

Thanks for posting the pics MotoJB. The fitment looks perfect with those 295's! ... aggressive, but not poking out.

EDIT- By the way... From what I've read, iForged owns Forgestar, or they are the same company (Forgestar is a brand of iForged)

Thanks, yep, and I'm going to stick with 275 / 295 while using these rims.

1) Forgestar is a brand of iForged. iForged has long kept offsets secret, for whatever stupid reason. I have no idea what mine are.

2) I am not sure. I feel like the edge of the wheel is probably only barely proud of the fender, but the 305s make it look worse.

I did test fit the wheels, but unfortunately it's almost impossible to do that at ride height, so I don't really know how much the protrude.

Assumed that's what you meant but I hadn't heard that. Yeah, weird.

I will likely stick with 295's, so no issue for me. Would like to fit a 305 just to see what it looks like, but I won't risk too many runs on the tire machine with gloss black.

Again, car looks great. ( better with tires tho )

Anyone running the F14 with a C6Z06 Big Brake Setup? Do they clear?

I know of a guy on the forum with an EB C5Z that is running C6Z brakes and he says clearance is no issue. Peter Cheney at Forgestar or First Rate Corvettes (forum vendor) may be able to confirm 100%.

Thanks...no these are gloss black. I don't like the look of matte black myself. Did that on my silver BMW and I hate it. The gloss black at least has some pop and they stand out a bit. That gloss finish is harder to keep clean and unscratched, but look way better.
