Just got an email back from Pete from Forgestar. He said they have an order out to a customer who's doing the 19x9.5 and 19x11 set up on his Mustang. They're waiting to hear back from him on the fit of the rims. He also told me that he doesn't think doing a 19x10 and 19x11 set up wouldn't work due to the 19x10 not clearing the brakes up front.
Yes, I know each order is custom but they still have to use offsets and sometimes it doesn't work for that certain car.

TSW has some good wheels out now. Similar to alot of big names, but now their wheels are cheaper. About 5 years ago many of their wheels were $600/ea+, now they are very affordable.

I had a set of chrome wheels for a little bit that were from Bremmer Kraft. They were 19x9.5 +43 offset and fit my car just fine. If someone like BK can get 9.5" wheels to fit up front, I don't see why Forgestar can't.
20X9 and 20x12 would be SICK in Piano Black.

F14 Do want. I already asked DS what the offset was, and he said that he didn't know, IIRC. The place where he bought them told him they would fit. I'm getting the exact same sizes on mine. Love it!
And I should have read the of rest of the responses.

How have you ordered a 2013 already? Order banks don't open until the 5th?

I ordered a 2013 from ENCS. But I still have to wait on options because they haven't been released yet. The options are still being shown as 2012 with HIDs being optional, etc. I'll be able to adjust my order as soon as the options become available. Yea, I seen that the order banks don't open till the 5th in the other thread. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to adjust the order on the 5th. I hope so! It won't matter because I'm still in Afghanistan, and will not be able to take delivery till May.

Digi mi armore,
What size are you running, and rubbing in the back? I think I should have gone with your advice to begin with, will make the switch next time I need tires.

IMO, it is worth the wait. I haven't fallen for any other wheel like I have the Forgestar F14. While other wheels are nice, they just don't have the pizazz that the F14 wheels have.
I'm deployed, so I'll end up ordering mine early enough to have them wait on me when I get back.

I'm running 20x9, 20x11, no rubbing unless I really really hit a hard bump, going really fast, under a lot of load. Like at the Three Sisters. I'm on sportlines, and the Koni's allow for more travel, this was never an issue before them. I'm getting ready to go up to 335/30/20 in less than a month. Getting a few things straightened out first, like locating them. I just found the offsets in some notes I had. I'll verify the offsets next time my wheels are off the car.

When I hit hard bumps as you say, I'm definitely hitting the bumpstops. The sportlines are great on smooth tracks, but on road blasts or ANY california roads (especially near Nico's
) I find the bumpstops hard on that car.
