Forgestar CF5V

I'm ok with 2 degrees of camber. I prefer it. Handles better.

It would be more towards 3 actually. 2.7 or so

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

How have cars responded to a 325/30/19 on an 11.5? Does the tire just come out too much/ or have rubbing issues? Just curious looking at other tire options and there doesn't seem to be much out there in a 315, a lot jump from 305 to 325.

I like these wheels and will probably do a track day or two but I really like the thought of these wheels in R fitment (or I would do 12" rears if you didn't have to sacrifice too much but it sounds like that isn't a good option). I know some people go square but I am leaning more towards doing a 305 front 315/325 rear considering this car is only going to see limited track time (and I'm not good enough a driver yet to run this thing to its potential).

I run a 305/325 on my car and its amazing, more options pricing is super solid and no fitment issues.

That being said Forgestar doesnt do a 11.5 rear, but the 11 is staggered offsets front and rear, stagger the tires and your fine.

The 325 doesn't roll over at all on your 11s (in hard corners I should specify)? Nice. That is probably going to be the plan then when I decide to pull the trigger on this.

I was thinking 12's because the tire I like to run, 305-30-19 Bridgestone RE71R, has a 12" wide beed while unmounted. Just trying to maximize contact patch.

I don't think that would be a great combo... I have 305/30's on my 19x11's and the sidewall is shorter than OEM.

They do sit wide. But I think on a 11" they would function just as well without modifications needed.

They do a bit but I havent had a issue on them on 11" they are very common for members to use.

Well, next time you talk to them you can tell them that you have another person interested in these in 11.5

You got it.

Paul,

I've got rims and tires on order with you in a 305/30 - do you know of any readers/programmers that will allow you to easily Change the computer so the speedo is accurate? Don't want to go through the hassle of using the Forscan tweaks.

I really wish they made an 11.5 wide 19. I mounted the 305 on the 11.5 rears and they look great.

I don't know of any except for the forscan tweaks but I'll check

Agreed. If you're running a 12" wheel, why not just kick it to a 325? However tire availability in 325 is pretty limited.

My thinking was 305 street tire or 325 Hoosier.

I run 325's no problem
