Hey guys,

I got a line on a set of Forgestar F14's size's 19x8.5 + 25 fronts and 19x9.5 + 35 rears, how close to flush do you guys think these would be?
Im also considering a set of Enkei RPF1's in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, any insight on offsets would help a tonnn

Im a total newb when it comes to offsets so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

The 8.5/9.5 with those offsets will be extremely weak on a Coupe. If you've got a sedan you'll be good (I think, but don't quote me on that, get a sedan guy to verify). It looks like from your sig you're a Coupe guy though. 8.5 is very weak for the front end of our cars when it comes to aftermarket wheels. The most common is the 9.5/10.5 with offsets ranging from +5 to +20 (stance/hellaflush crowd not included for obvious reasons). I recently picked up a set of enkei rpf1s in 18x9.5+15 and 10.5+15. I've got some fender work done from a previous setup but they're a good bet on stock fenders as well. Do you have any plans to lower the car? Your ride height plays a huge part in what you can or can't fit.

You should plan to roll them, it's just a good idea to have done since at some point down the road you're going to make a change that will require it. It'd be pretty close as is, I'd just get it done for ease of use.

Rolling will have no bearing on going back to Rays later on. All it does is smooth out the inner portion of the fender lip. There's no visible change on the outside at all if done well.

10.5+22 v 9.5+15
Should be about a 6mm difference in poke on the wheels, tire size may alter that. Use www.willtheyfit.com for a better idea.

OBsessed, thanks for all your input man!
Ive decided to go with a square (18x10.5 +15) set of Enkei RPF1's, I'm currently lowered on an Eibach Pro Kit, do you have any suggestions on tire sizes? I'm going to have my rear fenders rolled for sure.

Spacer question:

I want to improve my offsets in the rear on my coupe and my buddy has some 10mm "slip-ons" which he ran on his G that he'll give to me. Can I run those on stock studs and be fine?

Thanks for your help! Hope you all have been well!

I'm running 285/35/19 rear and 255/40/19 front but if you get lower than around a 26" rear fender height / 25.5" front fender height you're going to want to roll and slightly pull/flare the fenders to fit them. I already had the work done because I was stupid low and running aggressive offsets for a while. You should be fine stepping those down a bit, a 275/35 rear and 245/40 front (damn near ideal, just about half a percent height difference and shouldn't rub with just a roll) or 275/30 rear with 245/45 front (slight difference of about 1% in height between the two, but still shouldn't rub, just won't be quite as meaty).

Stock studs should not be used with slip on spacers. If you shop around at reputable places like Z1 they'll include extended studs even for their 5mm slip on spacers, the 10mm is definitely a no-go. Having said that though, if you call them up and ask they'll most likely sell you just the extended studs. If you're using stock wheels though, 10mm isn't going to put much of a dent in the sunken look you've currently got. Many times guys will opt for 25mm or larger studded spacers to flush them out.

Tukeeg35 - Also when choosing your tire sizes (because you can certainly go narrower than I listed if you'd like and it won't hurt you) make sure the front and rear are within 3% of each other for height. The VDC will start kicking in if it sees one rolling too fast or slow compared to another, so try to stay well under that 3% difference. That's why I mentioned what the difference was in my suggestions to you.

www.willtheyfit.com is a great calculator with a visual interpretation of how they'll look that I find quite helpful.

Nope no stock wheels, my friend was telling me that it can me done without studs and I was just wanting to get a second opinion. I was hoping to actually do something to my car that wasn't going to cost me money haha

Can't ever cut corners though and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the help!

I don't think a 275/35 would be considered stretched on a 10.5. It'll fit correctly. A 225 would be considered stretched

Just buy my KFs and go aggressive for a while

In all seriousness though, that will look good. Which wheels are you going with?

275 would be extremely mild stretch...

The dude that test fit your KF on his Z backed out?
