i'm looking to get a set of forgestar f14 in 18" for my 996TT and looking for help with size. i'll be running 235/40/18 front and 315/30/18 and i'm thinking 18x8.5 front and 18x12 rear. looking for advice from those who have bought forgestars. also, what offsets are recommended?

don't plan on tracking, so really just street use.

Feel free to give me a call if you are interested in a set, we have fitted several customers with great results....

8.5 and 11.5 will probably be easier to get and will work with your tire sizes.

 

i think in 18" they only come in 11" and 12" barrels.

 

The Forgestar F14 is definitely a great wheel setup and is not only strong, but also extremely light weight! I've personally setup a wide range of wheel sizes for some of my other Porsche 996 TT customers. All of the below will work perfectly fine for your pcar.

18x8.5 / 18x11 (this is by far the most common setup)
18x8.5 / 18x12
18x9 / 18x11

I also want to let you know that the offset of the wheels are determined by the experts at Forgestar on 99% of the orders and only about 1% of customers specify the offsets that they want. Forgestar will guarantee that your wheels will fit 100% without any issues such as rubbing, yet provide you with the most aggressive and flush fitment as possible. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

I went with 18X12 in the rears. You can fit 335's but it takes some work.
