Forgestar CF5V

[Paul@PKAUTODESIGN]

Actually, I found the label to my wheels.

Maybe one of the wheel guys can help decode it... this was the same sticker on all four wheel boxes.

Front 11 et 24
Rear 11 et 50

Yes, I went with 10" wide for winter wheels even though I won't be driving this car after a big snowstorm. But there will be snow on the streets for a while afterwards so I went just a bit narrower.
I forgot to mention that the front offset should have been ET15 for a 10" wheel to match OEM fit, but Forgestar was sure ET25 would look better. The front wheel does have a bit of room to give and the tire lines up just under the edge of the wheel well. This pic gives you an idea of the front tire alignment.

I have not read the whole thread but will the CF5V 19 x11 clear the front caliper on an 350R?

Yes. If they clear a 350, they clear an R. Same caliper, different color.

So that et 50 will pop out an 11" to the OEM R measurements?

Yes. The CF5 and the CF10 will both clear the calipers. I have he CF10's on my R and have plenty of clearance.

For what it's worth, I highly recommend the Forgestars for a street wheel. They are light and fit to spec well. I have mine shod with 305/30 Hankook Ventus V12's and the ride is great.

The weatherability is increased and the teamlining is almost nil.

I do not plan to track this setup whatsoever.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have a set of F14 in 19 x 11 that I tried to test fit on the car last night that did not clear the front caliper so I was a little bummed. This picked me right back up.

I would contact Forgestar and tell them what you're looking for.

Yes they can work we're a direct dealer for them I've done a few for the 350 platform they work great good caliper clearance.

Let me me know if I can help.

You are correct sir

Yeah F14's in general won't work from my understanding. You need to go either CF10 or CF5V's.

They have the best barrel clearance the f14 is their oldest model so it doesn't have the same clearance by a few mm

Has anyone considered going with 12" wide CF5V? I think they will fit if you add a little negative camber to the car.

You can but the wheel would be flat in profile, it would need a good bit of camber.

I'm ok with 2 degrees of camber. I prefer it. Handles better. I was thinking go in 1/2" in at the rear to get 12" rears and out 1" in front to get to 12" fronts. Add a little front camber and done. 11mm offset front and 62mm rear.
