F14 Pics

I know that the Forgestar F14's are a popular wheel on our cars. I am looking at getting the 19x9.5 deep concave on the front and 19x11 super deep concave on the back. I'd like to see some pics if you are running this combo. Also, quick question: Do I have to switch over to studs from the lug bolts to use these wheels? Thanks...

Why not run SDC front and back?

Forgeline told me that SDC front is aggressive and would require a stretch to clear the fender. I'm not really a fan of that look...

I ran 20s a couple years ago. SDC in front (20x9.5) and back (20x10.5), no mods.

I'm running that exact setup- 19x9.5 and 19x11, SDC all the way around. Lowered on KW sleeves and no issues with the SDC up front.

Having issues resizing more recent pics, but here are the post-install pics from a few years ago:

RD1M3 - your car looks awesome! it looks like you are still using the lug-bolts like it comes stock. Is that the case or did you convert it over?

Oh yea, the F-15 is much smaller. The F-14 is closer in size to the F-111...

Not an M chassis but it'll help you gauge an idea from pictures of the wheels fitted.

Man, all those guys like the stretch! I must be old or something because I just can't get into that look! Not to mention, with that small of a sidewall stretched to the hilt, those cars have to ride and handle like crap. I actually enjoy driving mine like it should be driven, so even if I were into the "look" I don't think I'd be happy with the performance. I'm actually trying to figure out the widest I can go "non-stretched" on the car. Looks like a 265/30/19 (would rather do a 265/35/19 so the sidewalls are the same size front back, but sounds like they eat inner fender liners) front and 295/30/19 in the rear. I run MPS', so they tend to run a little wider...

I don't think the 3 series cars can fit wider tires. I agree that the stretched tires look awful. You can run a 275/30/19 front and 305/30/19 rear. This would give you near-stock sidewall height.

Hey Dave, here is my car. Its not the F14s but the VMR V810s that use the same technology as the Forgestar wheel. They are 19X10 and 19X11 both ET25 with Mich PSS 275/30/19 and 295/30/19. Just to give you a reference on what those sizes look like on an E92. You should not have to switch out your lugs to studs.







This last pic was with a cell..sorry for the crappy quality but it shows you that the tires aren't stretched at all but properly supported.
