Rears we're fine the fronts were fucked. Quality just isn't there
Maybe running 19's on a 1er is part of the problem.
Also true but biggest problem w forgestar was that they sold 8.5" fronts where as bbs sells 8" fronts so the tire isn't stretched

How big are your apex? 18 or 19?

What tires are you running?

What's the offset...?

More to it than "it fits" yah know?

Running 18's. even with 18's I am running 35 series tires from and rear. To run 19's properly would mean going to an even lower aspect ratio, which means bent rims IMHO.

Front:
18x8.5 ET 45
245/35/18 Mich SS

Rear:
18x9.5 ET 58
265/35/18 Mich SS

Only mod required to fit was front camber plates, using the Dinan fixed plates. Fenders untouched, no rubbing ever.

My alufelgens have held up pretty well here given the roads here can just be one big pothole with what I swear is someone doing fill work while running vodka intravenously. 19's are definitely more at risk, but quality work yields quality results and it sounds like forgestar yields neither.

Roads are so bad here this winter thanks to all the freeze/thaw cycles. You are lucky that they even try and fill them in at all.

No doubt. It's generally fine here until you try to go off main roads. Mismanagement of tax funds means no money for proper road works so they just dump gravel in the hole and smear tar over it. I'm not kidding

I used to live in New England, SC has no excuse for its shitty roads.
