It will work at stock height, but he will rub for sure on bumps. He needs +55 to clear if lowered.
Edit: I believe jbro had the same set-up but in 20's.. And he had to returned the rears.

hope you guys can help me out:
looking to get a set of Forgestar CF10's in either 19's or 20's. don't know anything about wheels, offsets, etc. I've bought some H&R Springs, but haven't installed them yet. what do i order exactly to get them flush with the fender? what size rear wheel would i get in the back? 10" width? I also want to run the widest possible tire in the back. Thanks.

Usually members get Forgestar wheels in 8.5x19 +45 F and 10x19 +52 R which is enough in my opinion to make it flush particularly if you run PSS tires. I'm currently running 245/35 F and 275/30 R, I'm not lowered yet and it is nicely flushed. Maybe a few mm in the front can make it even more flush but this requires use of spacers or have your front wheels with an +40 offset from build.
Since you plan on lowering your car with H&R I've read 275 (PSS) in the back will not rub. Now if you don't go PSS route i won't be worried since other tires are less wide.

Hedges, looking sweet... I cant wait to see them mounted!! That was quick from the day u ordered.
Tim, the Rennen looks great, but in some pics they look more brown than bronze. LOL U should have went gold.
Your car is screaming for a front lip.
