I’ve seen threads from years back about Forgestars poking out. I just got at set of 19x11 and 19x9 and they poke.
Anyway to fix it?
Negative camber?
Try to find a machine shop that will mill them?
What does the forum say? They look ok or like crap?
No brand of wheels poke just because they're a certain brand. Did you order these custom or buy used? Dialing in some more negative camber will pull those in just fine, that's nothing extreme.
These are suppose to be c5 fitment.
The highest offset they offer is 55mm for these model wheels.
The car does have lowering bolts with 6 threads left.
How much negative camber does it take to suck them in flush?

Agree, but I do think this is a common issue with Forgestar wheels, if you just go with their standard offsets. I’ve seen it happen with both wheels for OEM fenders and widebody as well.
I remember reading a thread recently about this exact issue. I don’t remember if it was a C5 though. If I can find it, I’ll come back and post the link.
Personally, I could live with that little bit. It’s pretty much just the sidewall that’s poking.
They are not going to tuck or fit right. If sitting flush is what you are after.....which is what I was after. Need to remove wheels and find out what offset you have. I have been dealing with this for months. There is a lot of information and tools to figure out the offsets. I have been considering coilovers just to lower a bit more and play with alignment. Most people say they can live with a little poke. I still do not like the way mine look. I get compliments everywhere I go on the wheels. However I do not like it. Curious as to the offsets you received

Honestly, it will only make it better, but it will never make it flush unless you rice it out and drive on the inner edges.....That I am sure you will not do, thankfully....I hated my poke so much that I added the c6 z06 rear splash guards...It hides some of the poke as well, but you would have to like splash guards......good luck
that’s why I sold both sets I owned. The look is not acceptable IMO… See this…

I've got the same poke. I need to raise the rear a touch more since the tires do hit the quarters some times. I'm interested to hear if you can machine the center of the wheel.
The wheel offset for 10.5" Z06 wheels is 56mm You would need at least 63mm of offset to have the same profile. At 55mm of offset you will have that extra 88mm to hand out over the edge.

Forgestar told me to. I’ve only gotten one machine shop to even answer the phone so far and they will do it but they are backed up a while and want $120 per wheel

This is interesting. Forgestar told me there was no way to just machine a hub. Without changing other factors of the wheel. Forgestar said it would make the pad too thin and unsafe. Still a waiting game, forgestar is supposed to be making me new wheels. I have zero faith in them as a company........so I am not holding my breath

Forgestar F14 poke
from the side they look fantastic. The poke really isn't too bad.
