Forgestar CF5 Wheels?
Anyone running these on their C5? Read alot about these. What are your thoughts? I am looking to do a 18/19 setup. Pics would also be great so I can see how they look on the car.

It's a different wheel than your asking about but I can tell you that my car with Forgestar cf5v at 19/20 is certainly a bit much with how low profile the tires end up needing to be. The fronts are 175/30 and rears 305/25 IIRC which is within 2-3mm of overall height of OEM wheels plus tires.
Adding in an edit: I have CF10 wheels, not cf5v.

Just a suggestion but an 18x9.5 front with +56 offset and a 19x10 rear with +50 offset would be a good starting point. That rear spec would allow a 295 width tire.

Not mine, I have the black FRC but you get the idea. It's my buddies but he sold it for a basic C6.
