Spacer Recommendation for Forgestar F14's

Hey guys, I'm picking up a set of used Forgestar F14's. They're 19x10 +20 in the front and 19x11 + 33 in the rear. They're not the strongest offsets, so I'd like to run a spacer to bump them out, as I'm looking for a very aggressive stance. The seller is including 4 10mm spacers which he was running, but if possible, I'd like to run something wider. On my coupe 18's (winter tires) I had 25/30 mm spacers, but I'm assuming these wouldn't be transferable. Would I be able to run the 25mm spacer in the rear and a 10mm up front? What would you recommend?

we have no idea of how low you are so how are we suppose to recommend a VERY aggressive stance

but if you want a very aggressive stance GO ULTRA LOW and get 225/35 and 255/35 tires possibly some that run small (search for which)

and throw on the 25/30

so you would be at 10 -5 and 11 3

factor in some camber and fender work and call it a day

^^not really if you know how to do it you won't be "throwing away tires"

plus he asked for very aggressive stance

Thanks Eurodre. I'm not looking to run a great deal of negative camber, I'm mostly looking for a wide stance that isn't going to rub much. I'm going to be on BC Racing Coils, 14/12 spring rates. That should help in minimizing rub.

well you have to understand that you want a very aggressive stance yet want all of these subconditions

if you do it right you wont need EXCESSIVE camber and not rub ALOT

but for what you are asking you will have to venture into the -2 and more negative camber and more opportunities of rubbing

if your spring rates are 14/12 you can set them close to full stiff to reduce the rubbing but then your ride quality will go down

so you have to know what you are asking and what you are getting into

for reference im on bc's also with ait front bumper and ings sides,
im about 3 3/4" off the ground in the front and 3" off the ground at the sides
my specs are 20x9.5 -8 20x10.5 -8
with -2.2 and -2.8 camber
on 225/35 and 245/35









i rub in the front because i chose to have more poke of the tire

so if you put the 25/30 mm on

you would be like i said 10 -5 11 3

your front will be 3mm more poke than my front

and your rear will retract 5mm as opposed to my rear


i hope that useful, and that comparison is if you go as low as i'm at


you can also use this

to help to show you how far the wheels will stick out with different size spacers
