No.... MS8 step lip (lacster edition) 20" should be your way to go. Otherwise how could you qualify as wheel whore?
20" step lip may not fit something that I have in mind

I wouldn't worry about that. Definitely not a issue.

Gloss gunmetal? That's what I have. You have good taste.

You sold this already man. The textured finish is quite hard to keep. You have to keep it clean all the time otherwise it looks full of brake dust.

I suppose to use 19" before, but the shop suggests me to use 20", and many f10 drivers use 20" too !!! So, go for 20" with no regret la !!!

Kelvin, can you please PM me on where you bought your Forgestar F14 and how long is the wait as my new F10 won't be here until June.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for the info, I just ordered Forgestar F14 20" with Michelin PSS. However, they said it only comes with the size 255/35/20 (Stock 225/55/17) for the front which is slightly larger in diameter then stock. 84.9 in vs stock 84 in. Will this make a big difference? Rear tire 285/30/20 is exactly 84 in.

I got the Silver color for my black F10, would gunmetal or Titanium be better? I'm having second thoughts

PSS has 245/35/20 now. mlai has them. But I would suggest you to go with the 255, fatty tires and would protect your rims a bit more. I have the 255.

You can take a look of my garage photos below my avatar on the left. I have gunmetal and sapphire black. Silver or titanium will have more contrast, just a personal preference.

I noticed most of you and members in this forum only use 20x9 in the front. However the guy from A-shop told me should be 20x9.5 for Forgestar F14 and said it will not rub even after lowering. What do you guys think? I think c-hing Kelvin also got 20.9.5 front...
I check at Forgestar website that F14 20x9 is semi concave where 20x9.5 is deep concave, will this make a difference?
Front tire size PSS 255/35/20
Thank you in advance for all inputs

Not sure about the 9.5, but if the tires is 255 then they shouldn't rub. I go the same tires and lower with KW quite aggressively.

May be it's their new set up with the 9.5, all of us including overseas member have 9. No one has 9.5 yet. Deep concave will look better. If you order from a local shop you shouldn't worry, they should guarantee the fitment.

FYI

I guess I read the receipt wrong, it reads 20*9 5*120 and 20*10.5 5*120
Therefore it should be 20x9j
