Forgestar F14

Hey everybody, I'm looking to get a set of 19inch Forgestar F14s on my 07 M Coupe. I was told that I can fit the super deep concaves on the back but that I would either have to do deep concave on the front or possibly have some serious camber in the front. My suspension setup is stock. I'd like it to be pretty flush with no rub. Can anybody help me out on what the camber would be needed for super deep concaves on the front?

Thanks,
zafa

Thanks for the quick reply i2ichal2dz4m. The rears are 10" with custom offset for each install and the fronts are available in 9.5 with custom offset as well...

Here's forgestar's page for the wheel:
http://www.forgestar.com/v2/wheelsf14.php

It shows the front's offsets can be -25 to +23.

Thanks again for the quick reply and the help,
zafa

assuming you run the fronts 9.5 +23 you will need atleasts -3.5 camber with 255 tires IMO. those offsets are low. I run 9.5/+35 with 255 no issues with rubbing at all, but im at -3 camber.

Out of curiosity, how much camber is noticeable? I would like to keep the car looking fairly normal and I don't want it looking too heavily modified. Also, what tires would you recommend for these 19s so they don't rub or make the car look like it's lifted?

Thanks again,
zafa

anything beyond oem camber specs which I believe is -1.5 will be noticeable. If you want to run a stock alignment I would look into more conservative wheel specs

Thanks i2ichal2dZ4M. I really your help. I suppose I'm looking at the 19's w/10 rears and 8.5 fronts, what tires would you recommend for just commuting rain/shine.

Thanks,
zafa

Double-check the Contis. I think you want the DW, not DWS......I believe the DWS are all seasons. I have the DW on my 328i and love them. They are a strong candidate for the Z4M when I finally burn through the OEM tires.
