Default thinking of going forgestar f14s

Maybe 19x9 in the front 19x10 in the rear. Have cs wide trailing arms... front has coilovers... may sell my black powder coated gm accessories wheels. Anyone know what tire sizes I could do? Not sure how offset will affect the fronts... was hoping for 275/40/19s front and 305/40s for the rear... thinking of nt05Rs for the rear and nto555s on the front

The height of that tire in front will cause issues also your speedometer will read much lower than actual.

If a V1 can go 10.8 in the 1/4 on 265s I think 285s and 295s are just fine

I run these sizes and the tires are flush with fenders outward most edges..........Any wider would look cheesy.

245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear

lol. It's a work in progress. I don't have the bushings yet, but I'll be getting to it before too long. CS/Max is awesome. Always pushing the envelope on a platform that everyone else seems to have skipped over. I'll be sure to get that tool as well when I get the bushings. I can't wait to get it back out there
