Yeah I mean close on the inside. I tried et50 but with square hankooks it rubbed the outside now with round goodyears it probably wouldn't rub.

I've had 19x10's with ET50 and 275's for 2 years on the car and no rubs (and so have alot of guys in the forum...use the search tool)
I've read more threads on this topic in the last two weeks than you can imagine and I'm no stranger to the search button either having spent more time on car forums than most

The issue is that there are some people who have had issues with rubbing with ET50 offsets... it could very well be tire choice in addition to offset but I don't like being restricted on tire choice because of offset. If I'm running a Conti DW (narrow) or the Yoko AD08 (wide), I don't want to rub and don't want to worry about it. But I take your point nonetheless that one man's aggressive is another man's wimpy set up

If you wanna be safe then just get ET55's...and if you wanna go more aggressive then you can just put 5MM spacers to get to an ET50

That was my original point... callmiro doesn't rub with a 50 and you did with certain tires. Just makes the choice difficult because there are compromises whichever way you go.

I see the Forgestar's don't come in a 19 x 9.5. I am assuming that 9.5's with either 50 or 55 will work with 275's.

Thanks a lot for the tip.

Super good phone service from Peter.
Is that per wheel or per set?

Per set. Price has gone up but still a bargain on a great product.

C63 Coupe
So what would the correct wheel offsets and tire brand for 1 finger gap drop on a coupe?


Also, would it be possible to run 20's??



I like this look!

I was thinking of going 20's but I see that 19's do the job and fill up the fender. What offsets and tires did you go with?

What size wheels are these and what offset? If they are the 10 et45 rear they don't look too pokey at all. Any rubbing?

You can order them with any offset you want if thats a concern.
Looking at these to go with a Renntech widebody rear in 18's. Based on your own widebody experience what specs would you go for? Planning on using a 315/30 MT.

I decided to go with the piano black as I like the gloss finish. However, with all the brake dust that accumulates they'll appear to be matt black if you don't keep them clean.

The Piano Black on JCH car looks beautiful. Matte black wheels on a black car look too aggressive in my opinion.

Piano black from ForgeStar looks amazing. Get them & don't look back.

They look just like the black series wheels. I hope they make them in 19 inch with a good concave. It would make sence, a good marketing push to get customers in to buy the cf10. They should make them in 19 and stay ahead of competitors. Titanium or graphite.
