rotarymachine: most of the time the concavity of a wheel is dependent on the offset however this is not the case with the forgestar f14's...any offset as long as the wheel is 10" wide will be concave.

 

Yea...I'm not aware of any wheels that get more concavity as the wheel offset is reduced.....not enough to form something similar to a black hole vortex look anyhow which would be weird.

 

ya but wouldn't a 10" F14 with +38 have 2 more mm of concave compared to +40? but like you said not with the F14s but just want to be completely clear on the matter.

 

I know people have put the +18. Only thing im worried about is that itll be past the fender. IM looking for a flush look. And yea i know ill have to roll the fenders lol.

 

It will depend on your camber and height. If I ran -1 to 0 camber on the rear my wheels would be poking out. The lower your car sits, the more negative camber you're going to need to get it to work with the suspension. There is a limit of having too much negative camber where the angle of the tire contrast to the fender will not flow well and look ridiculous. If you have a really low offset rim for that case, you'll need a fender pull to not resort to such a high negative camber setup.

I forgot to say, my fronts do poke out slightly running them at -1.5 and while they clear I notice slight rubbing marks inside the fender liner from sharp bumps on the road which brushed them once or twice.

 

You could see two different camber setups on a car running the same wheel width/offset and one could look flush while the other looks tucked.

Get what I'm saying? Offset is only one factor to pull off the look.

 

Ok, Thanks for the insight, Myself I would probably just stick to the 10 +40 but I was just curious as to what the limit would be with minor suspension tweaking. Although I think it would be cool to see some 275's on there with a fender roll... beef those baby's up.

Just so you know that I am running on S-Techs right now and will eventually move from stock struts to some Tokico D-Specs, so the car is lowered about 1.2 inches and will hopefully be around 1.5inches with the D-Specs in place.

 

On a side note, 'nilla car is looking sharp

Would love to have our SS cars side by side at SS.

 

thanks for the info vlaze !!!! Ill go with +38 just to be safe.

 

^ I think you have it backwards... +38 will be closer to the fender than +40 if you had the same suspension set-up as atilla

 

im not getting forgestars lol. The offset for the rims i want is +38 not +40 but since they are pretty much the same thing i got a good idea of what it will look like from atillas pics lol :P

 

I'm using rays lug nuts, my wheels are 18x10 et 48+ and had no problems with fitting the lug nuts.

 

Correction the offset if my wheels is 38+.

 

I use Mcgard spline lugs which are quite long, using +28 offset here

 

Tease:



I'll be in Tampa this weekend for a photo shoot and guess what...Not only will there be some Forgestar action but a model will be involved too.

 

whoa - totally missed this post!

thanks 'laze. I'd definitely be down for a photoshoot

 

w00t w00t! can't wait to see the pics caveman

 

Sweet, lookin forward to pics.

 

they don't come with any of that, the shop that installed my wheels used the standard ones that they had which are rubber.

 

F14's work with our TPMS, I recommend getting them instead of regular valve stems.

 

Looks good.

 

Nice effort for that last pic. LOWER

 

congrats!
Looks good
What rim and tire size are they?

 

Any issues with rubbing upon full compression or lock to lock with the 285/30's?

 

Add me to the list Thanks Joel!

I love these rims!!!!!!!!
