Hi Fellas,

I'm about to pull the trigger on gunmetal 20" Forgestar F14's for my 09' Sedan.

Tires: I'm looking at Bridgestone RE760 Sports. I know there are a couple tire comparison threads on the board, but any recent feedback on these tires based on EXPERIENCE (performance, approx. life of the tires) would be great.

Thanks!

 

i dont know anything about tires but as far as forgestar they are very conservative with their offsets (to tucked in for me) i would definitely test fit the rims before putting them on because when i test fitted them i didnt like them and thought they wernt worth the money.

 

Thanks for the response Mikey, I thought the board was gonna give me the cold shoulder lol.

Which style/size forgestars did you purchase, and what was the offset?

 

i have a 2008 g37S coupe and i tried on the forgestar F14F which is the one with a lip. not sure about the offset but the lip was to small and they were tucked in.. i asked about a more aggressive offset but forgestar said that they are conservative and they dont want to waste time making a wheel that might not fit. but if you do get the F14's without a lip you can always get spacers to make it flush. i didnt take a picture of my car with the forgestars sorry but here are rims that looked just like them if the pictures upload.

 

Forgestar has custom offsets. Their website has a whole page of sizes and offset ranges you can choose from. I got my Forgestars just the way I like them.

 

i know but when i called and told them my vehicle they told me the biggest offset they could give me but because of my big brakes it wasnt aggressive enough for me :/

 

I went ahead and ordered the 20" gunmetal 20x10.5 & 20x9's.

Bridgestone RE 760sports 245/35 and 275/30. Custom offsets so 3-weeks til I get em. Pictures to follow!

 

I have run those tires before. I ran full set of 225 45 17's on my AWD daily driver DSM. I got 35k+ miles. And I beat on them quite a bit. No burnouts obviously but very hard cornering on clover leafs at high speed, every day. They wore very even, were quiet at the limit, and delivered pretty darn good wet traction. For the money, they are a great tire. I am now running PSS on that same car. Much sticker tire at the same tread rating, but another $75 a tire at that small size, so keep that in mind.
