Autocross and Road Course setup! Forgestar F14 19x9.5

[Nine Ball]

Ditch those lame DRL's and make brake ducts coming from them

Stock brake pads?

Bumping this thread with another possible setup that I came up with for a customer. These are his auto-x and roadcourse wheels, he has another set for the street/shows.

Forgestar F14 wheels (deep concave front and rear) Gloss Gunmetal Gray finish
19x10.0 front wheels with 295/30-19 Bridgestone Potenza
19x11.0 rear wheels with 305/30-19 Bridgestone Potenza
Camaro is lowered on Pfadt coil-overs.

I gotta stop looking at your threads on these wheels. I am really trying not to buy them and you keep doing this.

I keep thinking about the Silver f 14's since I have the silver rally stripes. I am not a fan of this whole concave look, but that setup on the silver car is amazing.

How aggressive can you go with the 20 x 9.5/20 x 10.5?

Thanks again to nineball for setting these tires up. they are the perfect track tire. i even got a couple people coming up wanting to know where i got them.

What psi are you running them at on the track?

I am loving the piano black look for the F14s. Interested in the 9-9.5 and 10-10.5s, just not sure how it will do with Eibach lowering springs...

What do you mean in terms of aggressive? Will they fit? Yes, not a problem there.

Lowering springs are a breeze. You can fit up to a 315 rear tire with these wheels and have zero rubbing issues. I can set up wheels based on every Camaro suspension list.

I mean how far will they stick out. I would like for the front wheels to match the back in terms of how far it sits out. If that makes sense. To often it seems like the front wheels are tucked in to far in relation to the back wheels. I like how the 19 x 9.5's sit on the silver car.

Forgestar offsets are customizable and built to order. I can make them fit however you wish, and also consider whatever suspension setup you have or plan to install later. A lot of times you'll see wheels that don't fit properly because they were generic off-the-shelf offsets/widths, or the vendor didn't fit them properly.

Tony, do you have any pics of these 19"s with tires that match OEM's height? What's the total weight saving compare to the 20" setup?

I'm very tempted to sell my current setup and get these....

I believe one customer ordered a set to replace his factory 19s on a V6 car, but I never saw photos. Tire selection in 19" isn't very good for OEM height tires. 19s are somewhat of the bastard tire size, just like 21s. With the Camaro essentially rolling on SUV height tires, there aren't many options. These two customers above picked the tires they wanted to use first, then we built the wheels to accommodate them. Some racing classes have tire size limits etc... to compete.

Here are wheel weights. Tire weights vary by brand/model.

OEM front 20x8 = 31.5 lbs
OEM rear 20x9 = 33 lbs

Forgestar Wheel Weights (I weighed all these myself)

18x8.5 = 19.5 lbs
18x10 = 21 lbs
18x11 = 21.5 lbs
19x9 = 24 lbs
19x9.5 = 24.5 lbs
19x10 = 25 lbs
20x9 = 26.5 lbs
20x9.5 = 26.5 lbs
20x10.5 = 28 lbs
20x11 = 28 lbs
22x9 = 29.5 lbs
22x10.5 = 30.0 lbs
