I've been down that route too. It won't work--you won't even be able to get them on the hub because they'll impact the suspension linkage. You need an additional 12mm of clearance on the outside and 16mm of clearance on the inside. With the 19x9" wheels, you have less than 5mm of clearance on the inside, meaning that you'd have to put a 10mm spacer on the wheels to get the 19x10" F14s to fit. And with the front tires sticking out a full inch further than the back tires, your CTS-V would look really bad. Plus you'd be in imminent danger of wrecking your front fenders over every bump.

 

Just put in for some gloss black ones, can't wait for them to be done!

 

where is the contact info to put in for a pair for my V? I saw the website but nothing about pricing or ordering

 

I'll pm you everything.

 

send me a PM also, or just put the info up here.

 

Here's everything I have, you want to email Peter at-
peter@forgestar.com, just let him know you're interested


Hello,
Yes the next batch of 1st Gen CTS V parts will be here sometime next month and the price is $1560 in standard finishes + shipping for the set. Attached is the order form you would need to fill out and email or fax back to me and we will charge a 50% deposit when the parts get here and the remaining balance once the wheels are ready to ship.

Yes the caps are included. We have 2 caps for the CTS-V 6 lug because on the rear dust cap you need to shave it down in order to fit the flush cap if not you would have to use the raised cap as shown in the photos here http://www.forgestar.com/blog/pics/blackcts3.jpg

19x9 19x10 Wheel size
Tire sizes 245/40/19 and 275/35/19

 

Hi Guys, I think that this batch may have all been spoken for as I wasnt given an option to fill out the same form when emailing Peter. He said more should come in next month but thats all I got. I hope they continue to sell!

 

I'm also interested for the next run. Gloss black

 

I wish this dude would email me back with some sort of updates.

 

Does anyone have these on a stealth grey!?
I'd love to see these in gloss black on a stealth grey like I'm ordering but any color will do at this point.

Thanks guy.

 

still wishing they had 18's.

 

Mine came in!

 

Nice and shiny! Get the sawsall out for those rear caps!

 

anyone have a black v with gunmetal gloss? i tried google searching

 

Yep, it's the only reason why I'm not having them installed and waiting for me by the time I get home...I'm going to have to chop it down a little because I know Discount will not want anything to do with trimming down the axles.

 

It's easy...if you want help cutting them down throw the wheels on without the rear caps and take a drive up north!

 

I'm strongly leaning towards pulling the trigger and getting a set of these wheels and I'd like to hear feedback with regards to tire choices people have run with these sizes. I see some have gone for Hankooks and Kumhos, which seem like the value choice but might be a compromise with regards to wet traction, ride, quietness, and longevity. I plan on running the 245/275 set-up and after perusing TireRack I do have quite a bit to choose from besides those like Goodyears, Yoks, Bridgestones, Michelins, etc. I'm mainly looking at Grand Touring/All Seasons because I use my car for long business trips and hit a lot of rain plus would like them to ride well and last 20-30k miles.

Thanks!

 

Well, I've had no problems driving ridiculously fast in a downpour with the Hankook Ventus V12. Of course, they have no cold weather traction to speak of. They're also the quietest tire I've ever driven.

 

Thanks for the feedback. How many miles do you have on them and how are they holding up?

 

I bought the michelin pilot super sports for my stock v1 wheels and I don't think I will buy a different tire. They have held up awesome in this seattle rain/winter
