Kept the 18's in front, but got 19x12 with 335mm tires in the rear.

That tire combo doesn't interfere with the brake ducts at all? I am curious.

Also the fronts are what? 18x9.5 with 275/35/18?

I am planning to go with that and 305/30/19 19x10.5 for now, but then jump to that if i go wide body

What's the skirt and front splitter? Also that splitter does it get rid of the air dam (replaces it?)

I was able to custom order the offset from the vendor I purchased the F14's. I went with a 19x12 with a +46mm and there are no clearance issues.

The fronts are 18x9.5 +50mm on 275/35/18. MotoJB ran 18x11 +53mm in the rear with a 1 inch adapter/spacer to make the wheels flush with the L5 wide body fenders.

From the records I got, the front splitter may be the C5R in CF. Parts of the original rubber air dam had to be removed for the splitter install. The car runs a bit hotter than normal now, and not having this air dam to divert airflow to the radiator may be the culprit. Looks great though. The Z is a show horse and doesn't get driven long or hard so a minor issue for now.

How long have you guys had to wait this year for your forgestars? Ordered mine a week ago, just did piano black.

Sold my CCWs, car is sitting on jack stands until the wheels come in At least in the interim I have a BBK coming in, in a couple weeks I will throw on to pass the time.

Love how these came out! SDC is definitely a rare setup, but looks great for those that can fit it

Are those L5 fenders or the other ones? I've seen L5 has been bad business lately so that worries me.

Car looks amazing!

Looks like he has the L5 fenders, but not sure if he got them recently or not. I love how it came out as well

Looks like I'll be going with an 18/19 combo in gunmetal for an EB Z very soon. Just need to find the right vendor now..!

Be prepared to wait I'm at 3 and a 1/2 weeks. Just finished my c6z bbk upgrade in the interim. Going to move the tweeters to the door cups to pass the time next.

Yes I've read this entire thread. Not looking forward to that part, of course.

Just sent you out a PM with the quote you requested, I'm sure we can help you out!

Take a look at our Forgestar Thread here for some of our custom finishes, and some setups we've done!

Thanks! I was on the fence about it for a while and decided to pull the trigger.

I don't have them handy but believe 18x9.5 and 19x11 w/ stock Z offsets.

Yes, matte bronze finish.
