Pics? Don't want to run a Skinny.Run 1/2 mile. Was planning on the S71's up front. Have a set of 17x10 rears with 325/45 M&H Racemasters and planning a 17x8 Front. Problem is Height.Cant find a Performance Tire that matches up without either going Skinny or to an 18 inch Rim. Thx

I would like to see this as well. I am 18" front and rear.

I’m interested in a similar setup with the new Forgestar F14 dragpack. Anyone have them?

Was on their Website didn’t see 18” listed Have always loved that Wheel Style on the 5th Gen. Guess you could use the “standard” 18 on it.

There is a link at the bottom right of their page to 1320 Wheels (I had to scroll right to see it).
https://1320wheels-com.3dcartstores....word=forgestar

Options listed for 5th Gen:
Fronts - 18x5 (skinny) and 18x8
Rears - 17x10.5 or 17x11

I’m interested in 18x8 front 17x10.5 rear, it looks like there are some good DR and front tire options that will work with this combo. I’ve also seen that Paul at PK Designs can order them as well, I plan to hit him up when I’m ready to buy.

I have sold 100s of sets of 17x10 rears and 18x8 fronts when it comes to welds!
