What offset did you go with?

Most important piece of missing information.

Looks great from the 3/4 angle but from the side the rear wheel looks a little small to me. I think 19 rear/18 front would be just right. Not sure why almost no one goes with staggered diameters on these cars. With the body on these S550's I think 18's look perfect up front but the back needs at least a 19. Many sports cars come with staggered diameters from the factory, such as the corvette Z06.

Overall though, the setup still looks good. It's a nice lightweight setup that will also provide a lot of grip. Lowered it's probably like it's on rails.

I just finished up a 19/20 CF10 setup for a member and he will be using the setup for both his 14 GT500 and his 15 GT PP ( depending on the season)

I had forgestar use their offset recommendations for the car, based on experience it would be a ET 40

It may look nicer with different wheel diameters but remember it's an HPDE setup. It's main purpose is to get the most money out of the tires. This will be achieved by rotating the tires all the way around the vehicle to conserve tire life and maximize the wear patterns.

I need an alignment and then I'll give feedback on handling.

Absolutely love the stance, and those wheels! :cheers:

Thanks!

The problem with this car is the the side, the 3/4, and the rear views are awesome but the front end still is just too big and ugly. I hate that and there is no getting around it...It's like it sticks out too far and is too high at the front....The "shark gill" lights are pretty tacky as well. It's like someone else designed 80% of the car and then they let the 5th grade art class finish the front end.

All that being said it drives freaking great and I cannot wait to get back to the track in September. Woot. I was a little reckless on the roads this morning and this car really sticks now. WOW

What's the offset of these wheels?

Looks good. I received my new wheels and tires last week from N4S and would have them on and pics to share, but alas, they sent lug nuts but no key. Regular lugs don't fit. N4S is taking care of it though and are sending me what I need. Paul is great to work with.

What offset did you use to clear those brembos with 18s?

I uae recommended offsets direct from frgestar, even though i know the stang up and down when it comes to fitment, when it comes to custom made wheels like this its always best to run their recommended fitments

Are you able to tell us what the offset is?

Of course depending on style between a 35-40

This specific application if i am not mistaken it is a et 40
