To those with Forgestar wheels. Update!

My car is in the body shop right now getting repainted after some hail/sand damage right now so I can't test fit these. But while my car has been away, I recieved my Forgestar F14 20x9, 20x11's and I was wondering what all is required to mount these, i.e. do I need hubcentric rings? Or anything like that I don't believe they came with any. I tried to do some searching and saw that some people said there's came with them.

A shot off one of the 20x11's.

Just picked up my car today from the body shop amazed with the awesome job they did, she looks just like she did when I picked it up from the dealership in Jan of 2011. Snapped a few pics with my cell phone. Got my black 5.0 badges installed, had an extra GT grill that they painted the surround and pony to match the paint. Still waiting on some tires so I can mount these forgestars.

Awesome thanks for the help guys, I can't wait to get my car back and some damn tires on these. I'm leaning towards a 275/35/20 for the front and a 315/35/20 for the rear, Nitto NT05's did a tire size calculator and both of those are 27" diameter which is what I'm currently running with the 245/45/19's

I tried to edit the above post but it wouldn't let me. I checked nitto's site again and you are correct. That's no biggie, I wish these cars came with wide tires from the factory. Pisses me off that when these cars were first announced they had 20's and then on release 18's/19's. Everyone gives the zl1 shit but atleast they have the tire sizes right the front tire is the same as the rear of the 13 shelby....

those tires are no were near the same size. go 315/30/20 in the rear for 27.6 front and back.

Yeah I went back and checked and saw that the 35 was a 28" I haven't purchased tires yet so it's not too late.

I used to have Steeda Spyder wheels on my car. They were 20 x 9.5" in the front and 20 x 11" in the rear. I had Nitto Invo 275/35/20 (27.6" OD) in the front and Nitto Invo 315/35/20 (28.6" OD) in the rear. That is a very large and heavy tire! There are definitely better options out there! :beer:

It was a mistake I need to find a 315/30/20 and I'm pretty sure these forgestars might be lighter than the steeda spyders but it doesn't really matter to me. This is my daily driver and I'm building an 86 notch 331 stroker(maybe single turbo) for my racecar.
