im thinking about getting new wheels and these forgestar F14's are the only thing i found that has a wide wheel i was wondering if it were possible to get a 19"x10, 11 under the rear? id really like to get that vaery aggresive look in the rear. i need to know what offset and tire would work with a 19". and im looking at a 19"x8.5, 9 on the front.

so bassicly i need to know what the front and rear offset would be and what tire would be best?

thanks

The biggest limiting factor I see is the rear max listed available offset on the 10" wheel is 45. The 9" has a much better offset option. I have a 9.5 et 45 rear with a 245 narrow (Hankook) tire without rubbing but I'm getting my fenders rolled so I can lower a little. I've read of others with the same sizes that rubbed more (probably due to tire variances). 10" et45 is gonna be tough to get to work.

The funny thing with the Forgestar is the 11" with a 55 offset would fit practically as good until you stuck the properly size 275+ or so tire on it. Both would require fender rolling if you use a 255 or bigger tire even on the stock suspension. With the 10" and 255 tire setup and a good roll or cut job, you'd probably just rub a little when you had an extra 200lb or so in the car. No way you'd be able to lower the suspension. Shaving the wheels or somehow reducing the rotor hat height would make the fit better. Falken or Nexen tires probably run the smallest to me.

I'm not so sure where you rub the strut in the front but 19x9 et 48 with a 245 tire might work, it'd be tight.

With that wheel and options for sure you'd be better off to just go with the same setup as Silverbullet. I think he has 265 rear tires on his 9" rims and doesn't scrub even lowered due to the better offset availability in this rim.

As already mentioned about, Silverbullet's set-up is what is recommended for the E82. Anything else will be difficult unless you are will to do some major modifications to the fender and all other required to fit the wheels.

19x8.5 +46 | 235/35/19
19x9.0 +50 | 265/30/19

This set-up allows for a decent tire size to de run as well as a drop; Silverbullet is dropped on Eibach Pro Kit Springs, this combined with the F14s looks plenty aggresssive to me for an E82

I would stick to the 8.5" setup up front. Running a smaller size in the front would increase the understeer, and if you stuck a 235 on an 8" wheel, the rear tire would look slightly stretched while the front would be almost flat, which would look odd IMHO
