Default Forgestar Wheels Thread | If you have set, post it!

Hi Guys,

I've personally been an avid fan of the Forgestar F14 and had a set of them for BMW 335i. It seems like there's a lot of 350z owners that are running Forgestar wheels, so I thought I would help out the community and create this Forgestar Wheel thread to centralize anything related to Forgestar wheels.

So if you have Forgestars on your 350z post:

1. Pictures
2. Wheel Specs
3. Tire Specs
4. Suspension Specs

I'll go first! Here's a pictures from one of our customer's Amir:

Are you widebody? or what offset you getting the 12's in?

I'm glad I got some of the last F05's I didn't know they were discontinued until I needed to get a warranty on one of my wheels. I thought I was going to be screwed but they made me a new one.

@bmcann super wide f10's would have looked sick on your car, and I normally don't like that style of wheel at all.

looking to get +23 offset and set the camber as close to factory spec or 0 as possible, while trying to fit the widest tire i can. i've seen 12's fit on stock body (roll) with a 305, im gonna try to see if i can get a meatier tire on there.

You're looking (vs stock) at 1 1/2" less clearance inside and a little over 2" more outboard. I think it will just clear the suspension on the inside.

Seems like a 12 would be hard to fit with that +23, hell mine are 11" +25 and I am going to have to run more camber than stock to fit with a roll when I drop it. Yours wheel would be 15mm further out than mine, but same size tire.

I've got 11 +28 and still have some room inside. It's the INNER clearance that limits you..you can always roll the fender and use camber for the outside ( up to a limit of course). I'm only slightly lowered..that's the other *fly in the ointment*. I also have 275/40s

Well 275's would definitely give you some room on the inside lol, especially with camber. He is wanting 305's and as close to 0 camber as possible. I finally ordered a fender roller so I can do that and put my springs on in the next couple of weeks. I'm curious to see what camber if any I am going to have to run.

Do you have any more pics with an angle more towards the side of the car? to see the wheel/gap better.

my cars alot lower than yours. basically my tire was just about at the fender. a little poke is ok, i just need traction.
