Forgestar 19x10 up front?
Its been nearly a month since i ordered piano black forgestar's in 19x9f 19x11r. I allowed forgestar to come up with the offsets, with the an emphasis on an agressive fitment. I really have no idea how much the 2 inch stagger will effect performance, good or bad. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I would assume more stagger would equal more understeer, as others have commented on in other threads.
So im considering changing my order to 19x10 19x11. The car will be lowered with my V3s about an inch all around. Anyone currently running 19x10s upfront that could give me an idea of tire size to run so i dont rub? If thats even possible. I could ask them if they make 19x9.5 19x10.5. Any advice is appriciated, thanks!

Forgestar probably chose a suitable offset for you (more than likely) and you should be fine. It also has a great deal to do with what tire size you go with. |

Even though my Forgestars are 18x10 and 18x11 it should be the same deal at the same offset. I have 275/35 and 315/30 tires mounted and no issues. With lots of camber (3.0 degrees) they are a little tight to the inside and have a fair gap to the fender.

your best bet depending on your offset will range from a 245(if your really aggressive) 255(if your moderately aggressive) 265(if you are a normal spec) 275(if you puss out lol j/k)
*comments refer to offset*

Contacted modbargains today with some interesting news. First guy told me that i absolutely cannot change my order after its been made. I was frustrated to say the least. Lets just say that guy got a verbal beat down. I called back to try to talk to another person, and thankfully that happened. The next guy deals with forgestar directly. He was able to tell me that my barrels were in powdercoating, and should be getting close to completion. He said he would try to contact forgestar, and make an attempt to change the order. At this point, i was feeling out of line for over reacting. In the end i decided i would go with my order, and if i do experience any ill effects I'll just order a second set I did mention that they may want to stay away from advising a 2 inch stagger.
