Forgestar CF10

I really want to order this weel, but refuse to do so without seeing pics. I'm really worried that the 9.5" 42 offset in the rear (highest offset they make)will be too aggressive for me. I think the 8.5" x 45 offset for the front will be fine.
Does anyone have any pics?

according to offset calculators, the outside of the wheel will be extended 18mm. It has a chance of rubbing.

That's the issue with Forgestar wheels... not ideal with offsets. You might be OK (some are) or you might not (some rub)... depends on tire choice but if my wheels caused me to have to be worried about tire choice I wouldn't be OK with that. The other option would be to go with a 9" wide wheel as Forgestar has a better choice of offets in that size.

I'm not too concerned with rubbing as I would go with a 265 tire to avoid that (I wouldnt try 275)...but I am concerned with the "look".

just imagine your stock setup pushed out 18mm. It might be outside of the fender, in which case it wouldn't matter what size tire you use you'll still rub.

I've looked through all of the picture & wheel threads a few times, there are some good pics with all the info posted. From what I recall that will definitely be sticking out, a little too aggressive.

Forgestar says they have fit them on C63's already with no rubbing with a 265 tire, but I need pics before ordering. No rubbing is one thing, but I dont want it to look dumb either.

The CF10 in 19" are not available yet, they have never been fitted to a C63.

The 19x9.5+42 is like a 19x10+48. It's an aggressive fitment that will clear a 265 depending on lowering and camber specs.

The wheel itself will be outside of the fender. That is an aggressive look that you seem to be wanting to avoid. If you don't lower it, it probably won't rub, but the wheel will be visibly sticking outside the car.

Maybe Peter at Forgestar was refering to a different wheel with the same offset then.

So, if I want the CF10, then I have to do 8.5" ET45 front and then if I go 9" rear do you go ET48 to keep both front and rear extended 6mm from stock, or go a bit more aggressive in the rear to something like an ET45?
Will be semi concave both front and rear rather then full concave rear.

That's correct, I would be a tad more aggressive on the rear though and do a 9+42. Front and rear will be semi concave like the C63BS.

Some very good news - we can make the CF10 in 19x10 up to +56mm offsets!
