Default Forgestar Wheels Help

I'm shopping around for a set of Forgestar F14's. After seeing how awesome they look on a few members' cars on CL (especially boshi's) I decided these are the wheels for my IS350. Here is my only concern....does Forgestar make the F14's in a 18x8 setup? I know they have a 18x8.5, but I did not see anywhere it list 18x8. I'm concerned because, my tires setup is currently Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 225/40ZR18 Fronts and 255/40ZR18 Rears. They fit nice and I'm worried if the front's are not 18x8, they might look off or too stretched with a lip-out. Any suggestions (without having to buy a different tire setup)??

I ordered mine last month and no I do not believe 8" or 10.5" is an option.

You got any pics of your setup? I think the F14 look SICK! Kinda reminds me of the BMW M3 CSL wheels.

the fitment difference for 225/40-18 from a 8"-wide wheel to a 8.5"-wide wheel will be negligible. you're not going to be stretching the tire much, and there will be a minimal exposure of the lip.
