18x10 +45 all around

LOL, when I cash in my 1% cash back on my credit card with all the recent mods - I can get a new set of Hoosiers!

You need a 2% cash back CC. 8)

I have a set of 4 Enkei PF01 18 x 9.5 45mm offset wheels with TPMS and only two track days on them for sale. They are virtually brand new. These are the best lightweight track wheels for the money weighing in at 20lbs. That's a savings of 11lbs per wheel over stock. Here's a pic of them on my car. $1200 shipped.

Still available? Might be a good track set for my Brembo GT...

Actually sold to another member on this board. My buddy with a Brembo GT runs them on his.

Thanks for getting back to me. I guess it's the D-Force rims for the GT. Although I worry about getting the custom D-Force without picking up a at least 1 spare or a 2nd full set.

D-Force has been pretty good. When I got my first set for my M3, they were 'special order'. Since then at least 10 dealers are carrying them including TireRack. If the Mustang ones sell... and I'm sure they will... I'm betting many dealers will pick them up.

If matching 9" and 9.5" widths are also made to fit S197s, I think it would help the sales too.

I was wondering if these would fit the front and rear of our car. The web page says rear only but with a 42mm offset I'm thinking they would fit. (only 1mm less than the D-force 18x10s)

Question to NT05 tires users. How are they in the wet?

I have a set of 19" F14 in 9&10". Haven't had a chance to test fit the 10s on the front yet, but my eyeball says they won't clear the brake calipers. Might work with a spacer and longer studs.

Forgestar wheels don't have much clearance for the Brembo caliper. I tried to get 11-in width for the front and their wheels can only clear the caliper with 9-in or maybe 9.5-in if you don't mind lower offset. This was about 2 months ago; give Forgestar a call and see if anything has changed.

Never did a lot of street driving on them but I have a few track days in the rain and they worked very well. They have a good rain rating because of the two wide channels in them I guess.

I hope they fit. I have a set of F14 18x10's on order. It won't be a big deal if I have to use a small spacer though.

What offset did you get?

Thanks Scott. I've seen mixed reviews on them in the wet. Everybody seems to like the dry traction.

It's going to be tight. With an 18 x 9.5 45mm offset and 275/40/18 NT01 I had between 1/4"-3/8"" to the strut. The 10" wheel moves you 1/4" closer and 3mm more offset moves it 1/8" further away leaving your tire roughly 1/8"-1/4" from the strut. Might need 1/4" spacer.

 

[BossJockey]

Sounds like it's going to be close. Dean, let us know how they fit. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I'm 80% set on either the Forgestar CF5's or F14's. The regular Boss is 19x9 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear correct? Assuming I go with the same size wheel, what's the optimal offset? (+45?)

Thanks.

 

[VoodooBoss]

Forgestar has all the offset info as they build a lot of wheels for Mustangs. No reason not to get 10" wide wheels for the rear. Offsets similar to these wheels will work.

Here is a picture of F14 18x10's +42mm offset with 285's. Don't care for the color but the fit looks good. Also he said they fit with the Brembo calipers.

I was referring to the fronts in this post. The rears will be no problem. Plent of room to the bumpstop bracket with an 18 x 10 +42mm offset.

Just ordered some 18x10 Forgestar f14 in bronze burst. My current plan is to throw some 275 continental take off slicks on them and a stiffer front sway bar for track day purposes. I also need to get camber plates, a front grill and some brake ducts. My wallet is hating me.
