I haven't gotten around to mounting the fronts yet. My Z is still at specialty Z waiting on the tune, I'll post more pics when I get the car back. Tires are Mickey Thompson Et Street SS 305/40/18

Forgot to update y'all. The fronts don't clear the sport brakes with the offsets I bought. So if anyone decides to get the M14s I'd highly recommend you make sure the offsets will work. I'm going to try a 5mm spacer up front. I may have been able to get away with a 2.5 mm spacer but I'd rather be safe than sorry at this point.

It's pretty disappointing that your retailer or the wheel mfg didn't check for the caliper clearance before selling you these. It's not like the Z34 is a new platform; hell, the G37 uses the same calipers. They should know what fits that brake setup.
If you wanted 18's why not just get something light and one-piece? Enkei's, used Te37's will clear anything. Spending money on 3 pcs . . . i'd want uber aggressive sizing.

As for the wheels, they claimed they did clear the sport brakes. Kind of sucks, but in the end I hope that 5mm works out.

I got the 5mm spacer on for the front wheels. Unfortunately it was still not enough to clear the sport brakes. I'm going to call getyourwheels to see if there's anything they can do

Jason and Josh at getyourwheels have been very helpful and they have amazing customer service. They're going to contact forgestar to figure out a solution to get this resolved.

Forgestar has other wheels that don't fit the fronts, it's annoying. None of their super deep concave options clear them

I've asked, they said it didn't, and i've never seen anyone run it in front unless there's a spacer to clear, at which point it doesn't really clear
my point was that it's a strike against Forgestar for them not to have tested that. The company can get test cars or just use templates to check wheel clearance before selling the wheels without that knowledge Ever seen a size chart from Rays? There's an huge chunk of info on there

James10694 - Sorry to hear they didn't fit. I was really forward to seeing how the complete setup looked as the rears look mean. |
