Default New wheels (Forgestar F14's)

After a long 3.5 month wait, I finally got my Forgestar F14's in. 18x11 Deep Concave in gunmetal on all four corners with 315/30/18 BFG Rival S's. Also installed CTS-V 4-piston front brakes.

Looks good! What offset?
Would you mind posting a picture down the side of the car, from both the front & rear?

In for offsets as well.
What clearance work was needed? Rolled fenders, hammer inner fenders?
Still have bump stops?
What suspension?
Did you need spacers to clear the big brakes?

They are amazing compared to the Nitto NT05's I had before.

47mm front and back. No spacers needed. No clearance work needed in the front. Shaved bump stops and BFH in the rear. Rear fender isn't really rolled, but I did bend it up slightly, more for insurance than necessity. Springs are BMR 1.25" drop. I also have Global West upper A-arms which allows me to run more camber. Currently at -1.9.

I know numerous people that have been running these tires for autocross like I do. They say they hold their grip very well all the way until they are completely worn. With these tires last weekend I out ran a 5th gen Z28 and a couple other cars that used to consistently be over a second faster than me.
