How would these fit? Might pick up some used wheels.
 
I found some used Forgestar F14's... I am quite the noob when it comes to wheels.
I believe their measurements are (based on pictures the guy sent me of the backspacing and width measurements):

19x10 +12
19x12 +25

How would these fit with Swift springs and stockish front/rear camber? Will they clear my sport brakes? Would I need spacers? And if so, what size?

I'd like to get a more 'flush' look... Right now I have stock sport rays with 20mm spacers all around and I like the look.

Thanks!

I believe they will fit but not with "stockish camber" however I am not a expert and I am sure someone else can chime in with better info.

For reference my wheels are 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12 and its pretty flush.

Will fit but a tad aggressive. Some adjustments will need to be made.

Sorry for the noob questions - but what do you mean exactly? what would you expect not to fit, and what types of adjustments would I need to make?

Lots of camber, maybe some modifications to the fenders. If you are looking to just bolt on a set of wheels and drive away, these aren't for you.

I am running 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 both +12 for the offset, lowered on Coilovers atm and not really running into clearance issues, dont think I am as low as a Spring takes you though, may run into issues rubbing as far as the fenders go, Camber arms would be a good investment for another few hundred SPC or SPL make a good set, easy install I hear. Stock camber can get you pretty far, may be worth picking them up if the price is right and test fitting them and just seeing what happens, then go from there!

*Edit: My front wheels do tuck with the +12 offset, rears begin to tuck but I havent fully lowered the rear yet, need to find the time.

*Edit 2: F14's do clear the BBK on the sports coupe from what I hear, a lot of people run them.

Thanks for the responses guys! I did some thinking about it, and it does seem with those wheel widths I might need bigger offsets to fit. Is that the correct line of thinking? Since the wheel widths are so much bigger, the offsets would have to be bigger for the wheel to not poke outside the fender without crazy camber?

Trying to learn here, so lmk if I am way off on this =)

Maybe somebody with a little more experience with springs would be a better answer than me, but I've seen this widths and similar offsets run before on a lowered Z.
