19" Front & 20" Rear...FINALLY!

[Rv-Junke]

Here is a what I think is a unique but proper set-up for the S550...a Staggered Front and Rear and Staggered width.

20x11 Rear
19x9.5 Front

FORGESTAR CF10 19X9.5 - offset: XX MM Gloss Black
MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORTS 105Y 275/40/19

FORGESTAR CF10 20X11 - offset XX MM Gloss Black
MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORTS 105Y 295/35/20

Paul over at Need 4 Speed has all the specs (I promised I wouldn't release since the wheels were made for my 2014 Shelby and the 2015 S550...so I can swap the wheels between cars.) Paul and Forgestar nailed the offset, and especially think the offset is KILLER on the 2015 S550. He is also one of the BEST guys to deal width...THANKS PAUL!

So for me the 20 front and rear always makes the rear tires look smaller...here is a straight on shot and the wheels and tires IMHO look proper:

A couple more shots:

Again IMHO normally in this type of shot the rear wheel looks so small in a square setup, but look almost equal with the 19 front and 20 Rear

Not that anyone cares The Shelby with the wheels before and after:

Side note, the wheels and tires actually took some of the bounciness out of the ride for those experiencing the "bounce"

Is there any weight gains with these wheels? OEM 19'' rims seem pretty heavy...

I did not weigh, but lifting the OEM off and new on these seem lighter for sure...maybe a couple pounds each????

Looking good brotha !

There is weight reduction in unsprung weight between the OEM to the Forgestar wheels only a few pounds tops 4-5 lbs, but it does make a difference never the less. total of ~ 16-20 lbs unsprung weight being shed off the car.

This looks fantastic. Forgive the ignorance, but what's the functionality of having wider rims in the rear?

From an engineering perspective no clue! I just like the old school staggered look, and in fact the circumference of both tires are VERY close to OEM Square 19's...

BTW, Thanks for the compliment...I really LOVE them.

Honestly, from a glance, unless you told me they were staggered 19/20, I'd never know. They look the same to me.

 

[Rv-Junke]

That was the purpose...optically if you look at many cars with square setups the rear will look much smaller than the front.

I'm sure if you PM Paul, he will spill the beans. Forgestar was sort of shocked someone was still doing an old school set-up...If Paul green lights me I will post specs.

Wow this looks great on both cars!
Paul you hit a home run with this setup

 

[RubyRed15]

Looks terrific. I've been thinking about doing the same myself.

Can you at least tell us your tire sizes?

 

[Rv-Junke]

Yes sir...sorry I forgot to add that:

FORGESTAR CF10 19X9.5 - offset: XX MM Gloss Black
MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORTS 105Y 275/40/19

FORGESTAR CF10 20X11 - offset XX MM Gloss Black
MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORTS 105Y 295/35/20

Almost looks like the front has a little more sidewall than the rear. I would have gone 275/35 up front, but other than that looks great!
