is what forgestar recommended, Eric said +23 on the back, but I went with what forgestar said.

He said he just talked to forgestar and they are on a 3-4 week order right now.
Fingers crossed!

Sounds good - Eric is a nice guy with great prices. Not sure how much Forgestar really knows on what fits best (as well as everyone else

) - it really does come down to preference. With your offsets, it is like adding a 23mm spacer to the front and 15mm spacer to the rear - you might want to rethink what Eric advised you with. Yeah, I got the 3-4 weeks from Eric last week, so I am down to 2-3 wheels. Which color did you go with?

rarwz · 03-22-2011, 06:12 PM

I went with matte black. After seeing the double down pix, i knew what i wanted.

I did some *rough* measurements outside, and it looks like the front could go ~20mm to be flush.

I'll see if its not too late to adjust to +36, which should put me at 17mm farther out. 3mm to be on the safe side.
The backs are fine, i would rather be 'safe' and just add a 5mm spacer later on if need be. EDIT: got a reply back from Eric saying that +36 won't clear the brakes

are the touring and sport wheels the same offsets? There should be a post with all these specs, maybe i'll start it if i get some input! try to help other idiots like myself not throw away 2k

Yeah, 30 is the highest you can go for the 9.5s, to clear the brakes.

And when i ordered my wheels i was told i can get any offset i choose (ideally +20F +15R) However they would not guarantee fitment and in the case the wheels did not fit, i could not return them.

Just fyi, im running 275s upfront, and 305s in the rear.

I think our specs are flush on a stock height car but not a dropped car. If I had a front camber kit that would bring it out quite a bit. I have strongly considered 5 front /10 rear spacers before, but I'd rather not. Forgestar makes great offsets for stock height cars, just not lowered cars.

12" should fit fine. I wanted to go 12 but don't really want the CF5 model. Thought about 18" but tire diameters are too small, but offsets offered are better.

325/30 was the size I would probably run, although Porsche has put a 305/30 on 12" wheels for the GT3 and GT3 RS in the past....I wouldn't try it with a hankook though.

At that point I'm guessing there wouldn't be any wheel spin off the line from a 370z with out any engine mods?

Yeah and the biggest downside is the extra weight. 12" will fit fine. O had thought about doing a 8.5/12 combo like a GT3. Forgestar just doesn't make good offsets in the CF5 and soon to be F14 19x12" with a +42. If the rear suspension was a little wider on our cars we would not have this issue, but what we have is a wider car than a 350z with basically the same rear suspension...so we have to run lower offsets...which means heavier wheels as far as one piece wheels go.

oleg · 03-23-2011, 06:43 PM

wouldn't that big of a difference on wheel width cause a car to have huge under steer, because thats why initially i was planning of just going with 19X10 all around from forgestar but i didn't see anyone do that before so i didn't want to risk it
