Forgestar F14 17x4.5 +30 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 4.5 inches wide with a +30 offset up front, and 17-inch by 10.5 inches at +50 in the rear, in the 5x120 bolt pattern the Chevrolet Corvette uses.

A +30 offset on a 4.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +50 offset on the 10.5-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.

185/55R17 / 275/40R17 tires on 17x4.5 wheels

The tire size is 185/55R17 front and 275/40R17 rear: a 185 mm section width with a 55 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. See every 185/55R17 tire we carry for this size.
