Group Buy: VS Forged Wheels
#161
Lance, I would hope these guys could get it right, having done shop drawings (hopefully overlaid onto a section cut of the wheel setup). They did do the other f type I and Tork posted photo of, but that had CCB brake package. They are guaranteed fit, so if they are wrong, I will need to get a new set of fronts. Jut looking at the photos and comparing to the BRG CCB f type, it appears my rears are more concave, although that just may be an illusion.
295/30zr20 101w in the back
255/35zr20 97w in the front for tires
Rims 9x20 in front 5x108 bolt pattern
Rims 10.5x20 in back 5x108 bolt pattern

101 and 97 are tire load specs, not offsets. The OEM offset is 55mm in front and 38mm in back. You can safely reduce each of those by 15mm to get the wheel more flush with the fenders. Some of us went with wheels that were 1/2” wider than stock. That requires a recalculation of the offsets.

1mm less offset in the rear would barely be measurable (1mm<1/32"), and the front is about 1/8" further out than mine. You can see the fitment in the photo below. You should be okay if your wheels are the same widths (9" front, 10.5" rear)

[QUOTE=Tork Monster;2077771]Mine are +32mm front; +25mm rear. I have no issues, no rubbing at all (21" diameter), but I would not go with much greater offset than that.

Thank you for the info! You're car looks great! I like the lowered look too, it definitely makes a difference in the look, you said you installed AP-Velocity progressive rate springs? Does it also make a difference while driving?

Here is the wortec group buy thread. I didn't buy them but would consider it in the future when funding allows. Others can chime in on how they like them. They are expensive, but for the right reasons.

Brushed Clear is superb....
Thanks to everyone's help with the offset information in this thread. I just pulled the trigger on some BC Forged EH181's. Although the finish below could have looked great on a black car, I went a bit more conservatively and opted for a brushed clear finish.

20x11 ET29

BC Forged has the thickest clear-coat
