Forgestar F14

FazerBoy · 03-22-2010, 03:30 PM

Hiya,

Anyone got these wheels?

I'm think of getting a set in 18x8.5 and 18x9.

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

Jack

Good looking wheels IMO:

Ryan@IND · 03-22-2010, 04:19 PM

we can certainly get the F14 18" for you.
you can opt for the 18 - 8.5 front and the 18 - 9.0 rear or the 18 - 9.5 rear (if you don't mind running some narrower tires).

will send you PM!

Thanks, but I'm in the UK and would be sourcing them from here (unless you think you could do me a better deal even with shipping!).

I'm more interested in opinions of fitment, quality etc.

Ryan@IND · 03-22-2010, 06:15 PM

18 - 8.5 et 45~48

18 - 9.0 et 48~52

18 - 9.5 et 54~60

The above are recommendations for a pretty much trouble free fitment.
you can always opt to go with a more aggressive combination in the low to mid 40's front and rear and run a more customized set up!

Just be sure you understand these wheels come with larger diameter hubs than are on your 1 so they come with hub spacer rings which you will likely need to replace every so often if you change wheels - say between summer and winter. For tires, you should be able to use 235s in front and 255s in back without rubbing, but I'll let you know. I tried 265 Hankook V12s and forget it - not even close.

SpacE82 · 03-29-2010, 07:38 PM

can these be used with the stock tires?

Clap135 · 03-29-2010, 07:53 PM

Still surprised 265s didnt fit on a et52 wheel. im running the same exact 265 tires on a et48 and have no issues. My suggestion to the guys who want to run this set up. 18x9.5 et60.

SpacE82 · 03-31-2010, 08:05 PM

I just ordered a set today.. hopefully i get them soon

Garduna · 03-31-2010, 09:01 PM

WishBone33 · 03-31-2010, 10:31 PM

damn.... how long is the wait on these rims?

ptack · 04-03-2010, 08:08 AM

Ordered mine in June 09, got them in November!
**********s said I could use a 265 in the rear, it rubbed like heck so I had to replace 2 new tires with 255s. They just got mounted today and they better not rub or everyone's going to hear about it.
