Forgestar offers this wheel in a forged model, but it has a lip... F14 f. I believe...And I think the bad reputation issue was with IForged ,out of Florida, not this company....

Thanks
Rubbing is very minimal with the bracket being trimmed. The handling with these wide tires are awesome, I haven't had any squeak or slips thru hard corners vs my previous thinner tire set-up. It's a beast.

Looks good, but I was hoping it would be a brighter bronze.

Hey guys I'm bone stock at the moment, stock suspension, so stock ride height, but plan on putting some Eibachs on later. What are your recommendations for a flush fit for some F14's Front 19x9 Rear 19x11. What offsets for flushest look, and what max tire size without having to roll fenders, and not having to worry about rubbing front or rear? Thanks in advance for anyone who can chime in.

I still drool every time I revisit this photoshoot.

Vegito - Are you attempting to pull off the same look at the OP? If so, go +20 in the fronts and go with the same offsets in the rear as OP, +44. Or if you want to play it safe, go with +50. Standard tire sizes for your wheel widths are 245 and 285.

Beautiful! Only thing I would do different is get/paint to have a black grille and paint your Mt. Fuji emblem black! Either way it looks great!

Yeah I am trying to get the same big tire look as the OP. But I want to run 9" for the front. So would the 245's be the biggest I can run with the same +20? For the rear would 285's stretch on 11" rim? If so, then would you recommend I get 10" instead with 285's? Also, for the rear +50 would be better for me since I'm stock right, and would that also future proof me for lowering later on either Eibach Pro Kit or lets say.... TEIN coilovers? I want both front and back to be either true or big, not stretched at all. Sorry for the 21 questions. I am just so new to all of this, I just can't help but ask more questions. I appreciate you taking time to respond to a noob like me. Thanks.

At +20, you'll be pretty flush with a 245 tire (with a drop). If you want a bigger tire, get a higher offset. A 285 tire should fit an 11" wheel no problem. And if you run +50, should also get you pretty flush (again, with a drop). So if you haven't caught on to what I've been trying to say, get a drop first lol. Then get a set of wheels. If you get wheels before a drop, they'll stick out like crazy and you'll have 4x4 status.

Got the message....loud and clear. LOL! Drop first before anything. Don't want a 4x4! LMAO! An Eibach Pro Kit would be good enough right? And then at the same an Eibach Pro Alignment Kit is what I'll need, then adjust it from there if needed right? For a +50, if I buy my wheels from Element Wheels they only offer the specific bolt pattern with a +45, the +50 says universal 5 lug. Would there be any issues you think? Or do I just need to purchase them straight through Forgestar themselves since they do everything to your needs? Again, sorry for so many questions man, I just want to try to get it as right as possible for my first time. Thanks for being patient with me.

**Would you guys prefer Eibach or SPC alignment kit?
