Forgestar F14 17x10, data thread
I dont think I'll have the time to install ohlins coilover, front sway bars, BBK,fenders rolled and alignment/corner balanced in the next 15 days before my next track day. So I plan to get the BBKs on, front sway bars installed and try these new wheels and rs-3 tires for the next track day mid May.
will thses wheels w/255 still cause rubbing issue with stock MY00 shocks/springs? My current alignment is roughly -2 to -2.5 degrees front and back.

i dont plan to go 1-1.5" lower. I have a pretty steep driveway.
So, my 17x10 +55 rims rub on to the stock shocks when making sharp(er) turns. It contacts on the top hat right above the spring. Anyone else rubbing the stock shocks? I'm going to have my ohlins dfv installed and aligned in the next few days. I plan to have 2.7-3 camber all around while being at stockish height to avoid bumpster issues. Hopefully the rubbing goings away since the Ohlins should be skinner than the oem shocks.

My 17x10 +55 rub the upper control arm at full lock 6mm spacer. It hasn't been much of an issue for me I just don't turn all the way...
Besides that, I have been perfectly happy ... waiting for my backup set of Forgestars to arrive

I'm still new to wheel fitment, wondering if anyone can help me out. I want to replace my stock wheels with F14s. My car is completely stock, no fender/suspension mods. My goal is to get keep it that way for the time being while getting more rubber on the road. I basically want a plug/play replacement for stock wheels without worrying about rubbing anything. Can you recommend the widest wheel and offset I should get? It can be staggered or non staggered. I occasionally autox maybe 2-3x a year for fun, but otherwise it's just a street car. Just looking for a little change without having to do much and I decided these wheels would be a good choice because of the custom offsets. Thanks.
Edit: sorry I just realized this was a racing thread. But if anyone could still advise, I'd appreciate it.

So my wheels (17x10 +55) don't rub the ohlins at -3 camber like they rubbed the oem shocks at -2 - 2.5 camber at full lock. But now it rubs the 2.5" brake ducts at full lock. Minor issue when moving around paddock or drive way.
