Ordered some Forgestar F14's and have questions
Hey guys,
A week or two ago, my wife cracked my rim on a construction steel plate. The rims are discontinued and got burned by a purchase off ebay to replace that rim (due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge about rims). So now...
I ordered a brand new pair of 19x8.5 and 19x10 Forgestar F14's (will it look a bit too silly in the back, since the popular choice is usually 19x9.5? and will it rub against my fender?).
Also, decided to upgrade the shocks and springs. As far as I can tell, the H&R Sport Springs seem to be the most popular between you guys. Are there any other springs that don't lower the car by 1.4F and 1.3R? that might be too much for my back future 265/30/19 tires... Right now, even on stock springs and shocks, the back tires rub a little when really stomping on the gas, or if I have people in the back. But at the moment I have 275/35/19.
About spacers... Since my rims will be built from scratch, should I just let Forgestar know how far out I want my rim to stick out (if it's possible)? If so, what should I tell them?
P.S. - I need to know most of this stuff by 12/28/12.
Thanks in advance guys!

Forgestar will build your wheels to your cars specs.. Which means with the proper tires (Id go 265mm so you dont rub) that you shouldnt need spacers. I know mine have a perfect fitment and these wheels are also very light which is a great bonus.
