My 18/19 gloss black f14s have finally arrived after a 3 month wait! Cant wait to get them on, doing 01-04 tpms conversion and installing c6z brakes before they go on. Will post pics when they are mounted!
Could it be that your car is adjusted for wider wheels in the first place since it is a Z06. My car is a standard coupe 1997 model with 245 in the front and 275 in the back.
Are there any difference in the wheel barrel width on a coupe and a Z06?
Which model the car is makes no difference; the arms, hubs and fenders are the same whether you get a coupe, vert or Z
Let the suspension settle, and if they still stick out that bad, lower the car to tuck them. In your pics, it appears your car is sitting higher than stock, so it either hasn't settled yet or was never lowered to proper height after it was shipped. These cars bring the tires in as the suspension is lowered.
Ever consider black chrome or a carbon fiber finish? I almost requested one of those before settling on brushed matte antique bronze. Couldnt justify such a dark wheel on a mag red. Black graphite does look great too
Man if you only knew how much time I spent trying to decide on wheels and the wheel finish
I'm currently running tsw Nurburgring in 18/19 gunmetal finish, they are in awesome condition with around 5000 miles on them and the tires, what started this whole new wheel thing is that at just under 650 rwhp traction has been the issue, so if I was going to get new tires I figured I would get wheels as well, plus the Tsw offset has never looked right to me on the rear.
The black graphite looks like his has enough if a silver Hew to it that it will look good with pewter, I Hope

Im 19x11 +55 rear with 305/30/19 with no poke. Even before I lowered my car it didn't poke out like yours, maybe 1/4 a inch at most. Now that its lowered there is no poke at all.
Beautiful car. Glad to see it fits well in the back. Wonder what would happen if you put it upfront. I don't plan to run wider than 285 but I'm not sure how much the 305 sticks out over a 285

Smexy RustinPeace. Your car looks fantastic for any mileage. I managed to get mine mounted today.
F14s:
18x9.5 ET50
19x11 ET55
Nitto Invo:
305/30/19
265/35/18
About 1cm poke. I kinda like it that way.. roughly the same amount of poke as 295 MPSS. Also the black paint is coming off a couple of the lugs but it's no biggie, can repaint pretty easily.
Thanks N4SM, zdeckich, rjwz28, MotoJB and everyone else who helped out.

Does anyone have a picture of the fronts sticking out? Got my F14 mounted up and the fronts stick out an inch... I think they sent me the wrong offset. 18x9.5 wheel offset on invoice shows 49mm. I am measuring the offset and looks to be 44mm. Rears are 53mm and fit perfect. Its a 1999 C5.
I see others are using the 49/50mm offset with a 18x9.5 wheel - why doesn't forgestar use the stock Z06 offset of 54mm??

Sorry to see that. Looks like C6 wheels on a C5 sticking out an inch. Have you contacted them? I know they usually don't take wheels back if you have mounted tires on them.:/ I learned the hard way to dry test fit wheels upon delivery before mounting encase they need to be sent back. I'd contact them if you haven't try to get new ones sent. Good luck
