Default Supercharged Lexus GS300 on Forgestar F14's

Installed my summer wheels after a long winter so I thought I would share. Something different from JDM wheels, Forgestar F14 wheels on Continental DWS tires.

You'll have to excuse the dirty engine bay and the strut bar not being installed, I haven't gone through spring cleaning and setting things up for good weather yet.

Nice! I'm liking the concave wheels, very good choice. Any more info about the supercharger setup already on the forums? Looks relatively simple and uncluttered, good job.

Is this a square setup or staggered? Surprised the rear isn't concave more. 18's?

Thanks for the compliment

The supercharger is an LMS Super Street that I purchased from a member here on the forum a few years. Actually, it is pretty simple, that's I went with SC opposed to turbo. Stats are:

Powerdyne BD-11a (refurbished and upgraded by 928Motorsports)
AEM FIC
AEM Wideband
Fuel labs fuel rail
Fuel labs 550 injectors

Initial tune by PF Supercars was 290hp/265 torque, last dyno was 330 hp, 273 torque after some upgrades with PTuning (www.ptuning.com).

I was a little surprised the rears weren't more concave either, but I still liked the set up | staggered 19x10 offset 40 with 275/35-19, 19x9 offset 38 with 245/35-19.

NICE...

Are you running a rear BBK as well?

How do you like the tires?

Rotora BBK all around, 4-pot; 355 front, 330's rear.

Continental DWS tires, love'm. I run 36 psi rear and 38 in the front and the car handles beautifully and still maintain "most" of the Lexus luxury ride.

I like the wheels and the color of the BBK. Clean and simple.
