Default Wheel options

So I need new tires and have winter tires on my stock wheels... I would like to get some new rims as well as tires.

if I stick with the 6 lug pattern and looking at options under 2000...

the forgestar f14 19x9 and 19x10 seems like the best option to me.

anyone put the 19x10 f14 in the front. Could I go 19x10 all the way around?? I like the super deep concave look and would like it on all 4 wheels

any better options for a 6x115 pattern. For reference I have a black v but don’t want blacked out rims.

You can't do 19x10" square without STS or C6 spindles in the front.

So if I upgrade the front spindles I could go 19x10 around 👍

how much would you reckon that costing

$230 for two used spindles plus shortening your front tie rods, two STS upper control arm ball joints (either you need an arbor press to remove the old ones and install the new ones, or find a machine shop), increasing the length of your lower control arm slots a little, and a damn good alignment. Note that you will be stuck with excessive negative camber (-2.5 degrees). I'm working on custom upper control arms to adapt the C6 spindles but don't hold your breath waiting for me. Lots of projects going on.

bullshit. you can fit them all you want, they just won't tuck to everyone's standards. the front fenders move A LOT with a little pull on them.


i can help you with some options, but you're mostly going to be limited to forgestar F14s in 17s or 19s, team dynamics in 18s, or avant garde M410 in 19s or 20s. i can source them all for you as well.

you can probably put the 19x10 up front, but you'll need roughly a 10mm spacer and it's gonna be REAL aggressive. i personally run 19x9.5 +37 and it's probably a way better fit. in this scenario i think you're going to be best off looking into a 5 lug swap and picking something that actually fits well. hit me up if you want to toss some ideas back and forth.

Don’t forget the Team Dynamics for ~1300 that save a few lbs a wheel and are o.5” wider than stock.
