18 X 10 SQUARED WITH 295/30/18 R888 2013 Boss 302

[2013Boss302]

Hello Everyone,

I have been on a quest to get the best set of wheels and tires on my car in a squared setup. I was never able to confirm 100% if anyone has been able to run an 18 x 10 with a 295/30/18 Toyo R888. I decided to go with a set of Forgestar F14 in Gunmetal like my previous set in 18 x 10 with a set of Toyo tires R888 in 295/30/18. I went last night to get them mounted and balanced and installed on the car. My fingers were crossed because I was worried about the front rubbing on my coilovers. After putting the front wheel on all my worries went away because they fit and they cleared the coilover by about 1/4 inch. On the drive home i decided to see if i could make them rub and I was unsuccessful. they would not rub and I do not require a spacer. I am hoping this thread will help people that were going through the same research issue was having with not finding a definite answer. 18 x 10 with 295s will fit on a S197 with a proper coilover setup. I will take more pictures in the day light. Here are some pics i took last night.

I apologize. I took these last night right after install. I will take some today in the light and post them.

No worries, it looks badass dood. I was going to go with 18X10 forgestars myself but decided against it since I love the look of 19s and don't race very often.

excited to see the setup in some good light.

Looks great!!! What coilovers did you go with?

 

[LostPony]

I have 18x10 Team Dynamics with 305 and 275 R888s that I picked up a few weeks ago when a friend sold his Boss. I also scored his 19" FRPP LS wheels in the deal. So just an FYI that the Team Dynamics will fit as well. I intend to run Continental slicks in 285 when I kill the R888s. If you keep an eye on the Rehagen Racing FaceBook page they offer scrubs for as low as $250 shipped from time to time.

What offset did you go with?

Looks great!!! What coilovers did you go with?

I am on prototype RS*R USA Coilovers. I am very happy with them. They are 32 way adjustable.

What offset did you go with?

Forgestar does not release their offsets.

Gotcha, seems like I won't be buying Forgestars.

The standard Forgestars from AM and Vorshlag are ET42 for 18x10 and 19x10. But it looks like you got something custom that pokes out a tad more.

Do you not have center caps on those wheels? I can't tell the pics are so dark.

 

[2013Boss302]

No center caps yet I need to take the dust cap off to get the front to get them to fit.

I think they do…..

Forgestar Wheels Custom Rotary Forged Flow Formed Concave Performance Wheels - Forgestar F14

My wheel guy can order whatever offset will work with mine.

I thought I had seem them somewhere, just seems silly to not make them public, not like there +35 or +45 is different than anyone else's.

 

[Jabooh1]

I ordered my forgestars and know the offset. I will have to look it up, but mine are 19x11 and 19x9

As always, your Boss looks great.

Any difference in handling, ride with the square set up?

 

[2013Boss302]

It rides great the tires are super sticky.

 

[86Fbody]

Who makes those coilovers?

 

[2013Boss302]

They are prototype RS*R USA coilovers. they are adjustable so on the street they are super comfortable and when you go on track you can stiffen them up. I am extremely happy with them. RS*R actually has a few production sets in stock, if you are interested.
