Im running 295/30 in the rear. The Forgestars are a remarkable value. I got them in a package deal with tires but I believe the wheels were about $1600 ish. ONLY prob w Forgestar is long wait times. Mine took about 8 weeks to be made and shipped. You get to custom pick your offsets and color, which is awesome.

Drags are pretty much for FWD/AWD low-end cars imho and they dont offer the correct size or offset for our cars.

19x8.5 ET20 or ET40
19X9.5 ET20 or ET40

FRONT: i suppose the ET20 could work but it'll probably stick out too far and look too narrow.

REAR: 9.5 is too narrow and ET20 is sunken in...

kenchan · 12-19-2011, 05:58 PM

yah, if you're stock height get 19x9 ET32 front, 19x11 ET18 rear.

if lowered something like 19x9 ET25 front, 19x11 ET10 rear maybe? wat do you run, alchemy?

To be honest Forgestar doesnt make the optimal offsets. I went as low as I could go front and rear. 19x9 ET20 front (just about perfect, if not perfect) and 19x11 ET23 rear. Rear leaves a little to be desired. ET20 or 18 would have been $$$ It def wouldnt hurt to throw a 5mm spacer on my rears.

Getting wheels that are lesser quality than what the car came with for the sake of "getting wheels" is a bad use of your money.

Drags only drag you down from their absurd weight

Yes, it's less, it's just the width on the rear, 11', maybe a bit too wide.

I am looking at the Forgestars 14, it looks pretty good, and the price is still around my budget.

Great wheel at a GREAT price. Cool colors to choose from as well. I worked with Eric from GETYOURWHEELS.com. He is on the forum, very nice guy. I have some other pics in my album if you're wondwring what they look like on a Z.
