Re: Forgestar F14?
im still trying to see how to make the 18x11 fit the front.... ive seen the Z06 rear 10.5 work well with spacers........ but running a 315rival on front makes me happy........
can you throw the rears in the front for giggles?
Ill be running a willwood setup (4piston) but will set my hubs out .3” it sounds like yours are stock width? You are not running 1le bearings or anything right?
as far as 1LE bearings, no, i have stock bearings, but I do have BMR A arms and short springs up front, i think that might be limiting me.

Re: Forgestar F14?
Hey man, that looks awesome. Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I'm looking at the same wheels. What size are the tires you're running?
Also I got a little spooked by your hubs not fitting in the front! I can probably do that machine work, but is there a way to avoid it?
My problem is that there isn't much of ANYTHING available in 315s anymore (I currently have custom 16x10 GTA wheels out back with 315 45R16s which are no longer made).
I'm trying to base my size choices on tire selection, and there is a TON in Z06 (rear) sizes. So I'm thinking about going with an 18x8.5 up front (+4mm) offset with the brake setup (it's currently at +6mm including the spacer with a factory gta wheel). That'd just be a regular old 245 40 R18.
Out back, I'm looking at 19s, mainly because there are WAY more tire choices (and cheaper ones). I have the room because I "massaged" the wheel wells years ago and I've had tires as big a the old M/T 28x12.5s under there. I think 19x11 with a 20mm offset will let me run a 325 30R19 with very slight changes in the where the tire boundaries sit.

Re: Forgestar F14?
Hi everyone, so I'm looking at a set of forgestar wheels as well. I have c7 bigbrakeupgrade.com kit which adds about .300 to stock width on each side. With that we figured a 18x10 20mm offset will fit all around. Anyone have any clarity on this? I did this math once before and figured I'd need a 10mm spacer on the front to get 10mm offset. Unfortunately the wheels I got dont fit around the hub (like they said it would) so o cant try to mount them and see either. The rears look fine could maybe come out a little but I'm trying to keep all 4 the same size if possible.
