18 X 10 SQUARED WITH 295/30/18 R888 2013 Boss 302
Hello Everyone,
I have been on a quest to get the best set of wheels and tires on my car in a squared setup. I was never able to confirm 100% if anyone has been able to run an 18 x 10 with a 295/30/18 Toyo R888. I decided to go with a set of Forgestar F14 in Gunmetal like my previous set in 18 x 10 with a set of Toyo tires R888 in 295/30/18. I went last night to get them mounted and balanced and installed on the car. My fingers were crossed because I was worried about the front rubbing on my coilovers. After putting the front wheel on all my worries went away because they fit and they cleared the coilover by about 1/4 inch. On the drive home i decided to see if i could make them rub and I was unsuccessful. they would not rub and I do not require a spacer. I am hoping this thread will help people that were going through the same research issue was having with not finding a definite answer. 18 x 10 with 295s will fit on a S197 with a proper coilover setup. I will take more pictures in the day light. Here are some pics i took last night.

Forgestar does not release their offsets. You may be able to research to find them though.
Here are some daytime pictures.

We have tested with 265/40/18, 275/40/18, and 295/35/18 tires (nearly matching the stock tire height for proper speedometer calibraiton) on a 2.5" lowered Mustang with no issues,

I have these D-force rims,
currently running NT05 275/40 now
295/35 next time :-)

Can you speak on the quality of the Forgestar wheels when it comes to balancing? I.E do they require a lot of balancing or are they pretty well balanced?

They are pretty well balanced. We've spun a few up on the balancer with a valve stem in them and typically it shows either no weight needed or 1/4 oz. FWIW, we typically see about one oz needed once tires are mounted.
