Owner Spotlight: Tom's 2018 Cadillac ATS-V Sedan On Forgestar F14 Drag Pack Wheels
Jun 26th 2026
2018 Cadillac ATS-V Sedan with Forgestar F14 Beadlock Drag Pack Wheels
The 2018 Cadillac ATS-V sedan is already a serious performance platform, but with the right wheel and suspension combination, it can be transformed into an even more focused street and drag racing build. For owners looking to improve traction, fit a proper drag setup, and give the car a more purposeful stance, the right combination of wheels and supporting parts makes all the difference.
Our customer Tom has built a strong drag-focused setup on his 2018 Cadillac ATS-V sedan, featuring a rear Aerospace 15-inch brake conversion kit and Megan Racing control arms. He is running a Forgestar F14 Beadlock 15x10 wheel in the rear along with a Forgestar F14 Drag Pack 18x5 wheel up front.
The result is a clean, aggressive drag pack setup that looks right at home on the ATS-V while giving the car the type of wheel package performance-minded owners are looking for.

This combination gives Tom’s ATS-V sedan a true drag pack look, with the narrow 18x5 front wheel up front and a more serious 15x10 beadlock rear wheel out back. The added brake and suspension components help make the setup possible while supporting the performance goals of the build.
Why Choose This Setup for a Cadillac ATS-V?
- True Drag Pack Stance – The 18x5 front and 15x10 rear combination gives the ATS-V a much more aggressive and purpose-built appearance.
- Beadlock Rear Wheel – The Forgestar F14 Beadlock adds both function and style for a performance-focused rear setup.
- 15-Inch Rear Wheel Capability – The rear Aerospace 15-inch brake conversion helps make the 15-inch rear drag wheel setup possible.
- Suspension Support – Megan Racing control arms help support a more dialed-in rear setup.
- Customer-Confirmed Combination – Tom’s 2018 Cadillac ATS-V sedan is a great real-world example of a properly thought-out ATS-V drag setup.

A Serious Drag-Oriented Setup for the ATS-V Sedan
The Cadillac ATS-V sedan is not always the first platform people think of when it comes to dedicated drag setups, which is exactly why builds like Tom’s stand out. The ATS-V already offers strong performance and sharp styling from the factory, but adding the right wheels and supporting modifications takes it in a much more aggressive direction.
The Forgestar F14 Drag Pack 18x5 front wheels help create the traditional drag-style front runner look, while the Forgestar F14 Beadlock 15x10 rear wheels provide a much more serious rear wheel package for traction and performance.
The rear Aerospace 15-inch brake conversion kit is a major part of this setup, allowing the ATS-V to run a 15-inch rear wheel. Tom also added Megan Racing control arms, helping support the rear suspension setup and overall fitment.
Altogether, this combination gives the car the type of stance and drag-focused appearance that makes it clear this ATS-V is built with performance in mind.
