Question Forgestar F14 Offsets

Hey everyone! I'm looking to start my "G" project for the first time. I'm bone stock at the moment.

I'm planning on getting Eibach's Pro Plus Kit and SPC's Camber Kit. I will be complimenting this drop with a set of Forgestar F14's Piano Black 19x9 & 19x10.

I am looking for some advice regarding offsets for a semi aggressive yet flush look. Also what are your recommendations for max tire size for the front without worrying about rubbing while turning or doing a little sprited driving. I will be going with 285's for the rear. I'm pretty much set on that.

I look forward to hearing any advice or recommendations or positive criticism.

I like g37sam's new setup. Offsets and tire specs look good to me.

I have a similar question and didnt feel the need to start a new thread. I am lowered on eibachs and looking at a set of 19" 9x10 F14's ,the front offset is 44 and the backs are 42.

Would these fit the sport BBK and would they look ok without spacers?

Surfjax87,

G37Sam sure has a pretty sick set up! Now that's the kind of stance I'm going for! That was spot on. Well....except that I'm gonna go with 19's and not 20's. I think I'm gonna post a comment on that thread and ask him about whether he has any issues with rubbing when making turns or anything with the 255's in front. I've been wanting to know for a while now.

I already asked him that, just scroll up his thread . I also ordered Forgestar F14 3 weeks ago for my coupe and am also dropped on Eibach PK. I ordered mine in:
19x9 ET 30 245/35/19
19x10 ET 33 275/30/19

I heard you can just tell Forgestar what suspension you are on and they will choose their own "custom" offset for you.

Darn, I already posted on his thread. LOL. I saw where you asked him if his front or rear stick past the fender, but I wanted to know if he rubs at all inside or out especially while turning with the 255's. I'll just wait for his answer, cuz I really want to go with 255's in front, but if it rubs I'll just stick with 245's then.

Hey, can't wait to see pics of your set up when you get everything set up. It gonna be a couple of months before I get mine all done. I'm in Afghanistan right now, but I'm gonna work on it on my vacation time in May and have it all done. I'll post up plenty of pics from all angles at that time. I'm so excited.

Oh and yeah, I emailed Forgestar and someone replied back and told me the same thing. He told me that once I submit my order I give them all the details reagarding my suspension and they will tell me their recommended offsets. BTW thanks for your input, I really appreciate it.

**LegitMW.....where did you order your F14's from? Did you get a good price?

I was reluctant to start a new thread also, but one of the other highly active users suggested I start a new thread to get the best feedback. Of course that was after a LOT of searching. Seems like you are going for a little more tucked and conservative set up with those offsets. I'm curious as to what it would look like with that set up too. But from all the searching I've done it seems like the +20 front and +35 rear now looks like the perfect stance I'm looking for to achieve that flush yet still aggresive look. But not too aggressive. LOL. Hope someone can chime in and give you a little advice too.

Thanks for your input VossenG37S. The +25 for the rear.....the rim itself wouldn't stick out further than the top outer portion of the wheel well would it? Just curious as G37Sam has +35 and to my untrained noob eyes it looks pretty darn flush. Or maybe because that looks like the stance I'm attempting to acheive. Albeit he IS using 20's and I want 19's. LOL.

Awwww...come on G37_SOME.....don't be mean..... LOL!
