should be just fine, a little more aggressive on the rear for more concave.

I found a set in stock but the rear is 19x10 +32. I want the rears to be as concave as possible.

That set in stock are the F05s - which are not concave. They are a deep lip application on the 10" rear.

It's in stock !

Oh sorry the set I was referring to was a vender not associated with the forum.

It's a F05 model right? The only F14s we have in stock right now are in 18".

No, another vender has a set of F14 in stock where the rear offset is 19x10 +32, instead of what +38. My question is that a huge difference?

Not really, a 275 will clear just fine.

Agh never mind. The other vender was referring to F05 as well, not F14.

So 19x8.5 + 32 and 19x10+38 is the best setup of the e55? I can't go up to 10.5 or 11 rears?

Backspacing

From my conversation with one of the vendors a while back, the forgestars are adding backspacing (material that sits against the wheel hub) in order to achieve the lower offsets so getting a lower offset might not get you much concavity. Increased width is what gives that concavity with the F14s.

Correct about the width.. The 10 inch wheels have considerably more concave than the 9.5 inch the rear..
