Forgestar F14 Deep Concave on front of e90 pre LCI

madbim · 08-07-2013, 01:52 PM

I've been mulling over wheels for a while now. I'm currently hooked on the Forgestar F14's 19x10 SuperDeep in the rear, and looking at the possibility and wondering why nobody has tried a Deep concave 19x9.5 et 33 on the front yet? It seems everyone just goes semi concave?

Was wondering the same for e92. Ive seen photos of an M3 with it but want to know specs

There's a thread about this within the last couple of weeks. You can fit a 19x9.5 in the front with stretch on an e92. If the e92 can do it the e90 can (what with their fancy metal fenders and all)

What about no stretch? How deep of a concave could you fit in the front (Deep or Super Deep) and at what offset using a 235/245 35 19 tire on approx 1.5" - 2" lowered suspension while still having the wheel and tire tucked nicely under the fender?

I don't know if it's possible. If it is you'll be doing some decent front-fender work. I'm not familiar with the e90 like I am the e92.

If you can't fit a 19x9.5 then you're not going to be running anything but a semi-deep front setup and that's the flat look that was mentioned before in this thread.

I've seen posts with others running a 19x9.5 wheels on the front of e90's (with no rubbing or fender work) I guess nobody has bothered to try that combo with deep F14s on an e90. Not sure if I'm missing something but it seems with a correct offset it shouldn't be an issue.

I'm not a fan of the stretched look, and mainly want something that looks flush or close to.

I believe the only way to do it is to have the tire stretched. I looked into it a lot and contacted a few vendors about it as I really love the wheels but have the non concave up front. Was told that even to get a 9.5 deep up front would require using a 235 tire and like you I'm not a fan of the stretched look.

From what I've read, and seen a 235 on a 9.5" wheel isn't really stretched at all?

Maybe it depends on the tires??? A friend of mine has a 9.5 BC forged up front with 235 falkens and it's stretched.

Has a chart of wheel sizes for each tire sizes. It is listing 9.5" as the largest size for a 235 but I don't know if that is the largest for normal fitment or if that would be considered stretched

I would think a 235 on a 9.5 in wheel would be pretty stretched considering you can put 285s on a 9.5"wheel.

That is for michelin PSS but I'm sure they have the same for any tire.
