I have the F14s in 19x9 and 19x11 with +24 all around. I'm interested in the 12" rears as well, but only available for 18" and 20".

From the forgestar site it shows +36 as the lowest offset for the 18x12". Is that true? If so, I would only gain 1mm on the outside of my wheels, but 25mm on the insides. I would hope that wouldn't rub anything like the shocks in the rear.

As for tires, I have a 305/30R19....you would want a larger sidewall for a 18" for sure. On a 12" you could fit probably a 325 I hope.

yeah 12" with right offset should fit a 335/325. I'd go 325 due to the 335 being 580$ each..

Im going with the 325 myself.

i thought you can sell any wheel if the demand was there, without being a magician. can you bend a spoon? (i think only phelan might get this joke)
