Forgestar F14 Question

Ok so when it comes to wheels I'm an idiot. I like the Forgestar F14 wheels my question is what size do I need to fit my stock tires as I'm not looking to spend money on tires and second where is my best bet as far as price on the wheels?

You can run stock tires on 20x9 front and 20x10.5 just fine. A little bit stretched but you can't really even tell.

10.5 will be a bit too much stretching IMO

It's not. I'm running them right now and it looks great. Not stretched much either. Might depend on your tires though. I got the stock Pzeros in the rear on a 10.5" forgestar.

Got any pics? Thanks for feedback as well.

I'll take a picture later when I get home from work. They are stretch but not that much and totally doable. I settled with this fitment because it allows me to use factory sizes or move to 275front 315rears later if i wish. I get more flexibility this way.

Here is a stock Pirelli on a 10.5" wheel. Looks like complete DOO DOO.








I would suggest doing it right and either getting stock sized wheels or wider wheels and new tires.

Stock tires, I'd stick with 20x8.5 and 20x10.0 max width wheels. I don't even like the look of the 275 tires on the 10.0 wide wheel, as the Pirelli tires tend to run narrow anyways.

Let me know if I can help!

are the prices on your site for wheels and tires or just wheels?

Most I'd personally go with to make sure the tire doesn't stretch out would be 20x8.5 and 20x10. Of course you can technically fit a 20x9 and a 20x10.5 on there with the stock tires, but they'll stretch out the sidewall as pictured in one of the previous posts...
