just not a fan of the all black wheels and rims, just doesnt seem to have a line that breaks the look apaprt. Kinda looks like the whole wheel well is just dark or dirty. But I guess some like it so to each their own.

Believe me the black wheels on PW look killer in person, just can't be captured in a photograph.

+1...one of the best combos.

This is a race car, so the tires and wheels are usually pretty filthy with brake dust, rubber, and misc crap.

Needs a rear diffuser!

Nitex · 08-19-2010, 11:35 AM

Shariff, i noticed you said your running 19x10 +30 something upfront and 19x11 in the rear. Ive ordered my forgestars around a month ago in a 19x9 +20something and 19x11 rear. Im curious how easy it was for you to fit the 19x10 upfront. Is this the better setup for a mix of track/daily? 2 inch stagger difference makes me wonder, should i make a quick change to my order for 19x10s for the front?

edit* i will be installing my V3's and lowering about an inch all around.

Or he could just paint it to reduce wait

I have the Forgestar 18x10 up front, 18x11 rear, lowered with camber kit. Fitment was just fine, plenty of clearance to the lip with my 3.0 degrees of camber and I imagine fairly flush looking but still no rub if you backed it down to between 1.0 and 1.5. I had a slight clearance issue at full lock when I installed my BC ER coilovers, but this was the wheel hitting the external reservoir and I was able to rotate the placement of the reservoir slightly to prevent that.

I would like to know what FP has done to combat Fuel Starvation and the VDC issue and the brake Icing that everyone talks about. I also can't read through this whole post to find all this haha. I mean I can I just don't want to ! Thanks and awesome car !

Hrrmm so with some negitive camber and around 1inch drop or so, 19x10 upfront should have minimal rub with a 265 35 or so?

Edit* with a +30 something offset. Any issues with running the 19x9 F 19x11 R? I would think this could possibly create some unwanted understeer? Maybe i should create a thread in the wheel/tire section.. Sorry for the jack!

Start a thread, this could go on for a while

There is tons of room up front for a larger wheel. I would strongly recommend using a 9.5 or 10 front. Otherwise its likely you will be fighting understeer on track.
