Forgestar F14 and Hankook Ventus V12 EVO

Loving everything about my new wheel and tire combo. Wheels and fitment came out great (probably didnt need to roll my rears like I did). The tires feel great, smoother than the Goodyear Eagle GT set I took off which felt smooth as well. Been pushing the tires a little bit and they seem to hold up to their claim of providing exceptional dry and wet grip (it actually managed to down pour friday) for their segment.

I made custom center caps for the wheels because the Forgestar ones had a silver background and I wanted black. So I made the caps at work and had a vinyl decal printed out, sealed them with some PPG-concept clear. I also went with Gorilla Flush Mount valve stems, which I also had to paint because they were silver as well.

I had the car aligned, but I forgot to get the spec sheet, so my best guess its as close to stock specs as it would allow (equipped with Eibach/SPC rear camber/toe kit). I think I may have to do a spring mount mod on the rear now and I think I'm going to get some 10mm spacers. The allowable rear offset isnt quite ideal, +33 is the lowest they make for the 19x11.

Specs:
19x10+20 front with 255/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO
19x11+33 rear with 295/30/19 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO

I dont think there's anyhing wrong with posting the same thread in the appropriate areas. Not everyone looks through the whole forum to find search queries, so for anyone wanting to search anything I might have on my car, they'll find it in the appropriate areas if they choose to search those specific sub-forums as opposed to searching the whole forum, That's at least how I search. I'm already a member, so its not like I'm browsing permissable threads so I can post something for sale and then bail...it's actually my 4th thread!

you need some rear spacers a little weak on offset too tucked in
even though you stated +33 is as low as they go
fronts look ok

i completely agree, I was think of going with 5mm, but I think I'll just go ahead and get 10mm Ichiba V2s. I think with the current offset, tire combo and drop height I wouldnt have needed to roll the fender at all.
