I'm sorry in advance for taking this thread OT but I wanted to answer your questions. The back inner fenders were sectioned, folded up, welded, and then refinished... I don't remember the exact offset, I'll need to call John at CCW on Monday, but I believe they were ~7 1/4 back or 27 offset - no spacers were required. Rears are 18x11 on 315/30's and fronts are 18x9.5 on 275/35's - great setup for the street/road course, crappy for the drag strip...





Thanks for the props - I'll create a new post once FP finishes up the car.

 

awesome...looks good!

 

Well done Forged... and keep up the good work

 

Well a lot of people raised the rear offset issue so it's not really OT. End result is awesome but that's a lot of work to get wider tires to fit in the rear! More than a simple roll - lol.

Quick question: why do you feel this setup is crappy for the drag strip? Just bring camber even in the rear and the forward grip I would think would be incredible.

 

It's the hard side walls on road race/street tires that kill you at the drag strip... my drag setup is finally done and on the way - 16x11 with a 26" tire in the rear & 18x4 1/2 up front (wicked offset to clear my BBK) - this setup should be good for at leat 6/7 tenths reduction in my times on the same boost I was running.

 

You are absolutely right. Custom made wheels like iForged make it possible to fit wider tires because they will make the wheels in whatever width & offset you want/need. I didn't ask what the rear lip would be. I just told Han at Intense that I didn't want the wheel to stick out past the fender and that it would need to clear a Stoptech 14" 4-piston front & rear BBK in the future. Han relayed that info via IM to the rep at iForged who suggested 19x11's and I was told that it wouldn't be a problem as long as we rolled the rear fenders. So I don't know any specs. I just placed my trust in Han and iForged and I am anxiously waiting.

 

^ oops.. just re-read my post.. meant to type iforged does not release their offsets usually.

 

 

So when is FP going to start putting "Forged Performance Twin Turbo" badges on their cars? I've seen the vinyl, but silver or chrome badges would be cooler...

 

Your the 3rd person to ask. We're going to look into making some "Forged Performance Tuned" or something along those lines.

I dont want to be like some other shop, and claim we make our own turbo prototype turbo kit...but its really a JWT TT kit...haha.

 

I would rock a forged badge .. Not a fan of stickers..

 

They are decals, not stickers...LOL.

 

que?

 

LMAO... Bwaaaaaaaaahahahaha.. U got me.. Not a fan of "decals".....

 

Very Rediculous Techs.

 

In regards to the "twin turbo" part, I didn't mean to imply doing something dishonest. I can see how that might be interpreted on hindsight though .

Westpak actually made me a really nice chrome "twin turbo" emblem (was a bit expensive but is nicely done). I would definitely sport a 'forged performance' badge in chrome...

 

i see

 

No worries Raj, I didnt take it that way. I was just thinking out loud, that Forged Performance TT could sound like we produce the kit. All good.

 

those idiotas

 

you could make a badge out of CF or something

i think thatd be cool... locally here in az dynocomp has those and pretty nice looking
