I was typing without thinking. Thanks for the correction!
That's interesting; I'm not sure why they would run a rear with a taller sidewall but not do the same in the front. It'll clear for sure with a taller tire both front and rear, and you'll add ground clearance while reducing the fender gap, giving the aesthetic appeal of a lowered car while gaining (rather than reducing) ground clearance.
Im getting ready to order 18/19. Where are you guys ordering from? I seen supervettes.com has them for $1280. I have a red c5z going with the gold finish.

I bought mine from ModBargains, but I paid more than $1280 that's for sure. If that's actually the correct price, I'd pull the trigger.
I remember the axle's sticking out in the rear and the caps barely going on...but they did, don't look strange/funny, and have stayed in place for plenty of miles.
Went in the garage...
The caps on the rear are sticking out a bit further than the front, but I'd say it is a non issue. Didn't even remember it until you brought it up.
Does anyone know if Forgestar was aware of this, and if so have they changed/fixed anything so the center caps on the rear wheels fit like they are supposed to? I know it's probably a "C5 unique" issue, but could be that Forgestar has addressed it.

For those that own Forgestar F14s, can anybody comment on the hub rings? I received my wheels and wanted to test fit them today, however, the plastic hub rings don't fit inside the wheel bore. Even with lots of hand pressure, no go! I will definitely break them if I try any harder.
I emailed my vendor and he said it's common on to have to 'sand' the wheel bore to thin down the powder coat until the rings fit. Is this true? A brand new wheel needs to be sanded by me to get the hub rings to fit? This sounds like BS to me.
Has anybody had to do this with their setup? If so, how did you do it so that it was an even sand all the way around? I just can't understand how brand new wheels need any type of intervention by the new owners to make something that came with the wheels fit.
Any help is appreciated.

My gloss gunmetal did not have to be sanded down in order for the rings to fit. They were tight though and looked like yours when I tried to put them on initially. Eventually they went on. Try a rubber mallet or some Vaseline?
BTW...hope you got the raised center caps or you'll be grinding down those rear studs.
