I'm not going to go into any long speach on how f***ed these rims were spec'd out. Bottom line is if you want to look cool and putt around like you got a 4cycl. Buy them. If you want to drive the way the car was designed then don't. I'm contiplating selling and going back to stock so I can drive the car prior. Yes I've done spacers and adjustments,still rubs(scratched up side walls look like chit) in hard corners, $250 a hoop and it gets old real fast.
For the sake of others reading this thread in the future, I think it's worth nothing that there are a number of other folks running the Forgestars who don't have all of these fitment issues. I'm not sure what the issue is - alignment and ride height, perhaps?
Linea Corse Venetos, "hyper silver", 19x8.5"/10", 245/40-19s up front, 275/35-19s in the rear. Car is lowered ~1-1.5" on KW coilovers.
Mille Miglia wheels, long discontinued. 18x8" +38mm (as I recall), stock suspension, stock tire size. These were on the car, with snow tires mounted
, when I bought it used in the summer of 2007.

Rota Torques, "hyper black", same specs as stock (18x8.5" +42mm) with stock tire size, stock suspension:
Same wheels, lowered on the KW coilovers. Car was filthy after a track event (note the front wheels aren't as blingy as the rears due to all the brake dust):
