I got my set of Forgestars... like them much better than the 6g wheels I had.

Beautiful...any pics on the car yet? What line are they and what do they weigh? What sizes..can you PM what they ran? Thanks

I would have no problems with running 305/325. Utter nonsense. I ran 305 squared at Road Am and was perfectly fine.

That is an untested theory at this point, and only relevant when pushing the car on the track. For street use a 305/325 setup would be just fine.

Fair enough, I guess I just need to decide whether to go with 19x11 square or 19x11 front and 19x11.5 rear.

Also someone made a comment in the 6R thread about running 305/325 not being a good idea for the base car due to too much understeer. Does anyone have any comments regarding this? Thats the size I was planning to run since 315 is a very weird size for not too many options.

I ran 305 fronts 325 rear and definitely had some understeer on track.on the street u won't notice. I would go square 305 all around.(which I'm doing next season)

I spoke with HRE and their flow form wheels won't fit the 350

There's a thread somewhere here. Found it. FlowForm ff15 wheels.

It takes a creative use of offsets and a spacer, but it's worth a look.

Even the 20" wheels?

I would avoid a spacer, and I speak from experience here. The only way I could make the 6g 20" wheels work was with a spacer... I decided to go against that idea.

Would you recommend getting 11.5" all around or 11"?

 

[DrumReaper]

The front wheels on the R are 11" and are shod with 305's. My Forgestars are 11"-square and I'm going 305's all around. Varying wheel widths with the same 305 tires all around will cause a height stagger.

Very interested in pics. Are you running the R spec size or standard GT350 size?

No issues with spacers IMO, if they are hub-centric and you have extended lugs there is no issue, even at the track.

Either way really, you can do 11 square or 11 front 11.5 rear. You can still run 305 square with either set up. But I'll probably do 11 square when I order my forgelines.
