About to take the Forgestar plunge

cubarican84 · 04-06-2011, 09:23 PM

Hours away from ordering off of modsbargain.com. My only concern is some of the negative feedback/reviews. What do you guys think? Ye or ne for Forgestar?

I haven't been able to find anything negative on f14s so that's why I ordered some a month ago. Should hopefully be here soon. What size and offset were you thinking of getting?

Im super close to ordering mine, prob in a few days. Been researching offsets. Im torn between the f14 & f05. Kinda leaning toward the f05. My searches for a pic of a 370 w f05s has turned up nothing unfortunatly. I have for the most part only heard good things about them. You will hear people complain about waiting too long for them to arrive mostly. I think they are a safe bet, plus they look sick.

I'm thinking about taking the plunge as well.

I think most of the issues that were cropping up have been resolved, and were mostly related to them trying to meet production demands early on.

I was looking at the 19s for sure. I have a set of brand new Hankooks 245/40-19 and 275/35-19. But honestly I was just gonna call Forgestar for the recommended offsets. What do you think offsets wise?

Not sure if this helps, but here are 350z pics with the f05s from Forgestars website.

Yeah saw those f05s on that 350. They look great just wish I could see them on a 370. As far as offsets go im hearing +24 front & back mostly. Im gonna be going somewhere around that or that.

I ordered mine in 19s too. For the front I went with 9in +24 and back 10in +20 as they don't make an offset lower than that. From what other members recommended is that I should be running at least a 10mm spacer to match the front, But im also planning to drop mine on some swift springs so it will be an easier fit. Any plans on a drop?
Oh and this thread should probably be helpful in case you decide to go with the f14s. There are some pics in there.
