Default >>-- Need Some HELP --<<

Alright, I'm going to be placing my order for a set of Forgestar F14 wheels tomorrow and have a few questions.

I have previously searched the forums and am aware on the rear center caps not fitting without modifications, the offsets have to be right or they will poke out, etc.


With that said, I am going with a staggered 18/19 set up and need help ordering the correct sizes/offsets.

Should I go with a 18 x 9 or 9.5 on the front? What tire is recommended for both 255/35/18, 265/35/18?

I've already got the 19x11's on 305/30/19's pinned but still unclear on the correct offsets.



With those who have Forgestar F14's or know about them post up and tell me your experiences and what does/does not work?


Thanks,

18 x 9.5 with a 265/35 on the front will work good with your rear selection. Can't help you with the offsets though...

Here's the best I can come up with:


18 x 9.5 +55mm - 265/35/18

19 x 11 +55mm - 305/30/19


...sound about right?

Forgestar / iForged doesn't release offsets.

My F14s are:

F 18x9" Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 P265/35R18
R 19x11" Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 P305/30R19

Fitment is good.

The 19x11 55mm wheel might stick out about 1/4". The 18x9.5 55mm will be perfect
