How much camber are you running with your setup. I have the forgestars and 275s. If I don't run a good bit of negative camber then they occasionally rub...
They are very nice but have become a little loud on my car.
The tread pattern is not conducive to wet driving but they are not that scary if you pay attention. The noise is what will likely relegate these to track tires in the future.

I wasn't a fan of the 6-lug Forgestar offsets as they push out the wheels too close to the fender for my liking.

ok, well I'm debating if I should modify the stock wheels or just bite the bullet and do a 5 lug conversion. Between buying a spare set of stock wheels, having them widened, then getting them powder coated I'm going to have about $1800-$2000 in a set of stock wheels. If I'm going to spend that kinda of money I prefer to buy a new set of wheels.
So if I were to buy new wheels, what offsets should I be looking for if I was to run a 19x9 in the front and 19X10.5 in the rear.
I'm thinking something along the lines of
19x9 +40
19x10.5 +55

i'll be running a square 19x9.5 +33mm set, but i'll be running a 245/35 all around which is one size shorter than stock. i don't need traction, but i do need clearance.
the forgestars are 19x9 +40mm in front, 19x10 +42mm in rear. the front is about as much inwards as you can go with knuckle and upper control arm clearance. the rears are about as wide as you can go with stock trailing arms and fenders (you may still need a roll). the fronts are honestly conservative to me. mine will poke 13mm more in front and have the same inner clearance and in rear they'll poke 2mm more and have 15mm more inner clearance.
use this calculator to determine what you think you can fit: www.willtheyfit.com
if you want the same outer clearance with a 19x10.5 wheel as the 19x10 forgestar you need an offset of +48mm. inner clearance will be 12mm less than the forgestar which would 100% require the CS wide trailing arms. food for thought.

Even without the spacer the wheels almost fit. On my car, the passenger side cleared but the drivers side scraped the inner shoulder of the wheel. A 5mm spacer probably would have provided enough clearance out back, a 10mm spacer would work well, and a 1/2" was what came with my car. The front wheels needed the most spacing. I think 10mm is minimum up there, but it has the 13mm all around.

Can you post more pictures? Some from the side and rear if you don't mind! I am trying to figure out a way to get more tire out back.....

I am in the exact same scenario as you. I am making 465 rwtq and this will likely be going north to around 500 rwtq so I think the 8.5 inch rims will need to be widened. I like the stock rims. They look good when painted and cleared. Thinking of widening these....
