F14 fitment

oleg · 02-12-2011, 04:54 PM

I'm planning on ordering Forgestar f14's as soon as I get my 370z but I wanted some help on the offsets on these different set ups if they would work and which one would you recommend? I want to be able to have a flush fit with no spacers if possible and still be able to use the sport package tires.
These are my set up choices
19x9F, 19x10R
19x10F, 19x11R
19x10F, 19x10R <---- the one I'm leaning more towards

Its a RWD sports car, go staggered. I would chose this one: 19x9F, 19x11R. But if you do go for the 19x10F, 19x10R at least you can do tire rotations.

I wanted to go with a square set up because I would much rather have over steer than under steer and tire rotation is a benefit too.

So, what do people have/suggest? I am going with 19x9, 19x11 with swift suspension. What is a good aggressive offset that doesn't go outside the fender or rub? I here 24 for both, but want other examples.

This is the setup I have. Fitment is nice and flush. Also depends on tire choice and drop and camber specs. I think +23 is the lowest they offer. I would get that.

Definitely go staggered. There are other ways to reduce understeer, such as more negative camber up front (-1.5 to -2.0) and/or upgrade your sway bars.

Are you lowered or stock height?

stock height: 19x9 +27, 19x11 +23
lowered: 19x9 +20, 19x11 +17

You could go a little (or a lot) more aggressive if you want to play with negative camber front and rear.

Yes. Send me a PM and ill link you to some pics.

if you want to go square, the 10" all around will work fine. I am square on 18x9.5 for the track and have a set of 4 18x10 F14s on order.

Plan to put Swift springs on - but hope to maintain OEM camber settings

djpathfinder · 03-02-2011, 11:30 AM

You'll need a front camber kit then, cuz front camber cannot be adjusted with the stock upper control arm.

That is pretty much what I was told as well from a few people and vendors since I am dropped on Swifts with some more aggressive camber, except I plan on getting 18s for the weight savings and additional tire choices.

Interesting, I don't think I understand it then. Many of those with swifts are getting oem specs or very close (0.1 off, which could be measurement error).

Look on page 13 for specifics.

When you lower with springs/coilovers and/or add wheel spacers you will get "more" negative camber. If you wanted to adjust front camber during an alignment, it cannot be done without a front camber kit because the stock upper control arm does not allow for any camber adjustment at all.
