I have 17x9.5 +57 CCW on the front of mine with a 245/40, but it's near stock height. I rolled the fenders for safety, but they are not pulled.

I went with your suggestion, got 17x9 +58 / 17x10 +58. 245/255. Hard to pass up on the dirt cheap prices of the RS3's and they don't have 235/40s. Just got the car back and they did a pretty nice job with rolling the fenders pretty flat so hopefully I don't have to raise the car or add anymore camber than my euro spec alignment.

Nice specs. That is a safe fitment, you won't have any issues since the fender work has been done.

Love the F14, especially now that they offer the Super Deep Concave in 18s!

Just one thing to note, Forgestar can take FOREVER in making the wheels. Ordered to custom 19" SDC F14s for my buddy's 8 series build, and it took them over 3 months and didn't even powdercoat them in time.... we got a discount and had them coated ourselves.

Just FYI I just had mine built and had them in less than the 6 weeks they originally quoted me. That being said, as each wheel is custom built if they run out of blanks the lead time can definitely increase significantly while the wait for these to arrive from their manufacturer. They can tell you up front if this will be the issue with your wheels, and they also have a very useful online tracker that you can use to track your wheels through the build process.

Finally got the wheels in. Took almost half a year, probably due to the recalls. Just waiting on my tires from tire rack now. The bronze is dark, almost black in the shade and a lot of gold flake in the direct sunlight. theres not much concavity but I guess that is expected. Can't wait to see the difference between the 215 fronts and the new 245s. Going from bfg comp2s to rs3 will probably be a world of a difference too.

I posted this in the forgestar thread, but I just brought them to get mounted. The installer noted that one of the wheels is bent and that he cannot guarantee that there will be no vibrations while driving. He suggested to have it replaced if possible. He did attempt to balance it and used around 15 weights compared to the 1-5 on the other 3 wheels. Vendor told me to open a claim with UPS. I do not want to even test fit the wheels or they might try to pass the blame onto me. Timeline is literally, received wheels monday night, tires tuesday morning, and filed a claim tuesday night. Hopefully someone will take responsibility and rush a wheel out to me because as good as these wheels look, it is not worth another 6 months wait.
