Default Re: Thinking Forgestars/F14's

The biggest advantage I saw in the F14s was the weight savings to cost ratio. They do in fact save a good bit of weight in each corner without costing an arm and a leg each.

Not completely sure on the offsets. I know for my stock sizes I was planning on going to go ET25 or ET30 in the front and ET12 or ET17 in the rear. Just to push the wheel out further to make it flush with the fender...without having to use spacers.

I just have to get actual measurements on the offset, but I believe it will work fine since the rears are ET22 stock, and there are many people running 10mm spacers in the rear.

A couple of pictures with the information on the wheels. Something I'm still getting my mind around is that I don't know the bore center. (they don't either) They supply a hub ring for Mercedes fitments. Hummm. I've seen them used before but I would prefer not to.
