Looking for a solution because i cause I have ordered forgestar f14s as well. Just got the email saying they’re ready to be shipped.

These wheels will will be sticking out and I was thinking about mudflaps but would prefer fender flares.

Fronts 19x9.5 tires 265/30/19
rears 20x11 tires 305/25/20


will depend on the offsets you got. I had 20x11’s and they fit fine and didnt stick out. If you are looking for flares though, PM me. Mine were slated to go up for sale tomorrow actually..

Please post here with pics once you get the wheels. What offsets did you go with?

No offense those look tacky as hell, a proper molded fender would look so much better.
The stick on ricer look seems to be acceptable today. IMO really cheapens the look of the car.
Anyone remember the 96 GS flares that screwed on? Sheesh

Fair enough. What are your thoughts on the Z06 or Grand Sport fender flares that come from the factory?

Forgestar wheels are known to bend easily on our cars, and even more so on Camaros, etc. Here's hoping you only intend to use it at the street : )

everything thats known is in the past now. Weld owns Forgestar now. I know for sure they are tweaking things. Took me months to get wheels remade that were done wrong originally. They were fixing things on the production end.

Wow, this is good news! I always liked the idea of custom spin forged wheels. Fingers crossed on improvements.

I got these from @Quik Z06 (he posted in this thread about them). They are very nicely made the only two issues I has with them was they lay completely flat on the mating side and due to the contour of the cars body the bottom of them kept pulling off of the car. Perhaps you’ll be able to get them to stick better. The second thing was that I used these so that I could run Z06 wheels on my non-Z and the Z06 width front wheels actually caused me to crack the fender in half because the wheel hit the fender multiple times after going over bumps unfortunately. Reach out to @Quik Z06 to see about ordering them.

thanks!! I’ve been running the front z06 fender spats and honestly I don’t like the look and yes the tire catches it every now and again.

i just PMed him about getting the front pieces!
I performed a z06 wide body in the back and also run z06 offsets on front and back

thanks again

Did that cause the tape to not hold up? I saw that you only taped them every 6 inches or so, did you go back through and tape the entire arch?

I got them from a forum vendor. Not sure if these are even still made or not.

the entire thing was double sided taped. There was no areas that did not have tape. My OCD wouldn’t have been able to cope with that haha.

They sold them as of last year. I used GM panel bond and a lot of clamps. Did some trimming inside rear fender.
