Forgestar f14, super deep concave 18x12 +6. Powdercoated illusion purple.

 

just sayin'

 

I dont think I have ever seen or heard of someone going with a 12' wide wheel.

 

What size tires are you planning on running?

 

i have two sets of these f14 rims. 335/30/18 for street and 300/650/18 slicks for track.

 

let's not derail thread. Look up the s2k forum post, they discovered the source of the problem. 1 manufacturer of their rims never made a design change back in 2014 and was specific to ONE specific size and offset of their f14 pattern. These are substantially different in spoke dimension (thickness etc).

 

Post some pics once they are on the car

 

this is what an 18x10.5 +18 looks like with the widebody. About a solid 25-26mm space between the fender and rim.

To my knowledge, i'm the first to fit an 18x12 on an evo period.








aaaaaannndddd here's a shot in the sun to showcase the awesomeness of the illusion purple

 

yeah, I saw that thread... I'd still be scared to run it... but thats just me.
one of my local tracks is quite dangerous as far as run off room goes, there's only one corner that you might come out ok, everything else I'm getting injured if I go off

 

Well if its any consolation, there's a 2011 mustang in Texas that ran time attacks for a few years in a row on 18x12 forgestars. They had a full compliment of aero and ran 345 hoosier A7's. The s197 mustangs are 3800 with out the driver, and the dude reset some records here. Basically what i'm trying to say, is i think i'll be fine

 

Nice man. I like the purple. A friend has a similar color on his white X.

 

the Vorshlag car? you make a good point... but they're more like 3500lb, especially in the trim he was running

 

What kind of whp are you running? That seems like a LOT of tire. I would think the weight/roll resistance would be working against you.

 

310 whp on a mustang. Only 1 way to find out.

 

They ballasted up the car because of the power it put out since the class is regulated by hp/weight. It also had full interior and such, but those cars depending on mods are a solid 200 lbs heavier than an evo.
