Hello everyone, Im looking into the 19" Forgestars F14s but not really sure on how the offsets work.I will be installing f-sport suspension soon and would like the wheels to be flushed and not coming out. any sugestions on what offset range i should be looking at. Also besides the forgestars any other nice set of similar wheels in the same price range. Thanks again.

(bolded for emphasis.)

here's tire rack's explanation of wheel offset.

given ^, you'll need to determine how wide you would like your wheels. this would help to determine what offsets to go with. check forgestar's product webpage to determine what widths have which offsets.

that, or contact an authorized CL vender that carries forgestar wheels to figure out what offsets are actually offered (vs. what's listed on the website).

until you can figure all of that out, there's not much to offer up in terms of suggestions or helpful advice.

New here and needing some advice. Just bought a CPO 07' IS350 and am in the market for some wheels. I found a set of 20" wheels that I really want for a great deal. Problem is they are on a G37 coupe. They are 20x9.5 +37 and 20x10.5 +40. Same bolt pattern but will this work? If i'm correct the hubs are different. Can I buy a hub centric ring or have one fabricated to make this work? And if so will it last or have any potential issues? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Especially before I drop a grip of $$$ on something that will not be compatible. Thanks

do some sort of drop. roll your front fenders and slightly roll or shave the rears. also since they are 20's modify the front bumper tab by removing the bolt and moving it further in towards the inside of the fender. run 235/30 front and 265/30

I was going to slap coilovers on it but I was not sure if I would have to roll fenders. The tires that are currently mounted on these wheels are 275 30 rear and 245 35 front. Will that work? BTW your car has the stance I am looking for. Nice work!

Talking

Anybody can tell me which 5x114.3 setup to run? The car is stock height and will be lowered on springs, possibly tein ss tech or the fsport lowering springs... i would like to do the least amount of wheel well/fender modification possible...

^^ you'll have enough suspension travel before they start rubbing.

235/35-19
265/35-19

how would the gap between fender and tire change from my 18 inch stock rims with 225/40/18s in the front to once i get my new 19" wheels and go with 235/35/19? will it stay the same or will the gap actually be less. thanks!

235/35-19 is 1/4"+ taller than 225/40-18. the gap between the fender and the tire will decrease by ~1/8", but the front will also ride ~1/8" taller. neither is discernable without actual measurement with a ruler.
