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.

oh ok I get you. Im kind of a concave freak so if I go with f14 ill get sdc alla around but its a reall good option for people that dont wanna worry about fitment issues and get some good concave in the front because semi concave in thr front and sdc is really ugly I cant stand it. DC in front and SDC should look good.
People should defenetly hop on this.

That's exactly what I thought, the flat front wheel looks horrible with the super deep concave rear. I wanted to get sdc all around, but I prefer flush over poke.

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 ended up getting 9.5 et22 sdc and 11"et33(et28 with 5mm spacers). I reused my tires which were 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. The front needed camberplates and alot of work to make it fit, but no issues. Camber is set to -1.8 front and -2 in the rear and the wheels are flush.

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.

I have some pictures here. I would say the front pokes 1mm and the rear pokes 2mm with the spacer. That is exactly how I wanted it. Just use camber to fine tune your fitment.

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.
