Forgestar F14
I've been trying to get Forgestar F14's and the fitment I wanted is
9 et25 deep concave 10 et25 super deep concave The problem is 9" only comes in semi concave which isn't concave at all. I know it is possible to make a 9" deep concave because I could get 9.5et32 and have 1/2" removed from the inner barrel which would make it 9et25 and it would be deep concave. Since I would rather not have a brand new set of wheels cut and welded I decided to see if Forgestar can make them in the size I wanted. I talked to sonictuning and I was told that they might be able to make it happen if enough people were interested. The reason I don't want to use a 9.5" wheel is because it is too close to the strut and I would rather have a little bit less stretch. If anyone else is interested you can post in this thread or pm jose_sonictuning. |

You can't fit sdc up front without stretch and poke. The reason I say 9" deep concave is possible because 9 et25 comes to the same outer position as 9.5 et32 which is available in deep concave. I think they should be able to make 9" deep concave as long as the offsets are et35 or lower.

The issue is caliper clearance.
Got to have enough metal for a structurally sound wheel that will still clear the brakes. I have F14's on my car.

Sorry for bringing this up.
I cant believe this thread didnt get interest at all!((( Your logic is 100% clear and right, i was messaging all F14s vendors with exact same question!!! I am ready to buy 9J SDC for fronts instantly as they come out! I just hate the idea of stretched 235s for front!( |

I recently got new tires and I went down to 235/35/19. It's not stretched very much I'm happy with the fitment. Now that I have more room in the front I'm going to take a little bit of camber out. |

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=996697&page=3 I did get a little bit of camber wear. You can flip your tires to get more life out of them or use a little bit less camber. I plan on adjusting camber to -1.5 in the front and -1.7 or -1.8 in the rear(I'll take out the spacers or use a 3mm spacer). I needed the camber because the front was too tight of a fit with the 245's but now I have more room with the 235's. |
