Forgestar F14 17x9 +35...yes, 17" Forgestars! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wow, I really like these wheels. I think a silver pair would look slick on my Ultramarine in 17X9 +35.

Since you can pretty much get any offset with forgestar wheels, I am wondering if I should stick with +35, or tuck it back a little with +36 or +38? Since I was only able to get -1.5 camber with camber bolts.

I run -1.5 up front and it doesnt poke with my setup.

yup, I've got -1.5 up front too, and its perfect. If you were really worried about it, you could do a +40 maybe, but I think you'll be happy with +35

oaroyale · 04-09-2015, 02:24 PM

+40 is too close to the stock strut, (it might be rubbing already) I was going to go anywhere between +35 and +38. Based on what you guys said, I think I will stick with +35 like everyone else. Thanks!

Thanks OP for making me consider a bad financial decision from your pictures.

I already have Enkei RP03's 18X9.5 in SBC and I'm thinking of trading them out for these Forgestar F14's in Silver. Same size too, 17X9 to shed some weight on the wheels.

I'm on KW V3's so clearance is definitely not an issue. -2 camber up front with slotted holes and crash bolts. Running about -1.8 in rear with a slight toe in.

very nice!

is the face of the wheel/concavity the same for the 17x8.5 semi deep as it is with the pictured 17x9 semi deep? I keep going back and forth between 17x8 or 17x9 for aftermarket wheels. so i think 17x8.5 would be the perfect size (with the correct offset of maybe +33 or +32)

jarednoel · 04-10-2015, 02:23 PM

another side question, selling your DY wheels? haha

xwd · 04-10-2015, 02:45 PM

Nice wheels. I'll likely go with the F14s for my SM BRZ in the future. Hard to beat the price for a lightweight wheel, but it would be nice if they made a 17x11/17x12 as well. Guess you would have to move up to 18 to get that width.

FRSTRM · 04-10-2015, 03:31 PM

Does the concavity of the face change with width/offset, or will it remain the same? Love me some concave wheels.

I would say yes. If it works like Enkei's do, anything under a 9 width is not concave.

all the 17's are the Semi-deep concavity! Changing the width (for 17's anyway) wont effect how concave they are.

and @FRSTRM

theres a slight concave to the 17x9 F14's, they are considered semi-deep. Changing the width/offset on 17" forgestar's wont change concavity.

I'll just leave this here...
