Torch Red C8 Corvette on Forgestar CF5V Satin Black Wheels – 19x9 Fronts & 20x12 Rears.
Oct 27th 2025
Lightweight Power Meets Precision Design.
Few cars represent performance perfection like the C8 Chevrolet Corvette, and few wheels complement it as well as the Forgestar CF5V.
This Torch Red 2021 Corvette C8 sits on a staggered set of Forgestar CF5V Satin Black wheels, sized 19x9 up front and 20x12 in the rear — a combination that perfectly fills the C8’s wide-body proportions.
Forgestar’s rotary-formed construction ensures every ounce of weight reduction translates into sharper turn-in, faster acceleration, and more confident braking — all while maintaining OEM-level durability.

Front Wheel Details:
-
Wheel: Forgestar CF5V 19x9 Satin Black | 5x120 | +38 Offset | 6.5” Backspacing
-
Finish: Satin Black
-
Fitment Notes: Provides proper caliper clearance for factory and Z51 brake packages. Ideal for factory tire sizing such as 245/35R19 or 255/35R19.
The CF5V’s lightweight barrel design reduces rotating mass, improving response and steering feel. On the front axle of a C8, every pound matters — and this Forgestar configuration delivers performance gains you can feel immediately.

Rear Wheel Details:
-
Wheel: Forgestar CF5V 20x12 Satin Black | 5x120 | +52 Offset | 8.6” Backspacing
-
Finish: Satin Black
-
Fitment Notes: Fits OEM and aftermarket tire sizes including 305/30R20 and 315/30R20. Maintains correct offset alignment with factory quarter panels, producing a clean flush stance without poke or tuck.
The C8’s rear-mid engine layout demands a rear wheel that’s both wide and strong — and Forgestar’s rotary-formed barrel achieves this while minimizing weight for improved traction and reduced rotational drag.

Forgestar CF5V – Rotary-Formed Strength with a Purpose.
The Forgestar CF5V blends motorsport-inspired engineering with sleek five Y-spoke styling, designed to complement the Corvette’s aerodynamic lines.
Key Features:
-
Rotary-formed construction offers forged-level strength with cast-level affordability.
-
Lightweight design improves acceleration, handling, and braking.
-
Compatible with factory TPMS sensors and lug hardware.
-
Satin Black finish enhances the C8’s contrast against bright paint tones like Torch Red or Accelerate Yellow.
The CF5V’s monoblock form eliminates unnecessary weight, while the rotary-formed barrel delivers the strength required for high-performance vehicles that see both street and track use.

Fitment Coverage: 2020–2025 Corvette C8 Models.
Forgestar’s CF5V sizing has been verified across all C8 Corvette variants, offering perfect brake and fender clearance for stock and performance applications:
-
2020–2025 Corvette Stingray (Base & Z51)
-
2024–2025 Corvette Z06 (Note: Z06 requires custom offset or spacer for factory carbon-ceramic calipers)
-
2020–2025 Corvette HTC Convertible
-
Compatible with factory and aftermarket lug hardware and TPMS systems.
The 19x9 / 20x12 setup mirrors OEM Z51 geometry for balance and agility while adding a visually wider rear track that enhances the C8’s aggressive proportions.

Tire Sizing Recommendations:
To achieve the right stance and performance balance, these tire sizes are ideal pairings for the CF5V setup:
Front Tires:
-
245/35R19 (Factory Z51 Spec)
-
255/35R19 (Slightly Wider Front Grip)
Rear Tires:
-
305/30R20 (Factory Z51 Spec)
-
315/30R20 (Performance Option for Added Rear Traction)
Each maintains the correct rolling diameter and clearance for the C8’s electronic chassis calibration and ABS system, ensuring no interference with traction control or stability management.

The Perfect Finish for Torch Red.
The Satin Black finish of the CF5V creates a striking contrast against Torch Red’s vivid tone, emphasizing the C8’s mid-engine proportions and bodyline creases.
From any angle, this combination exudes modern performance — aggressive yet refined, with the kind of stance you’d expect from a supercar. The CF5V’s clean spoke pattern also showcases high-performance brake packages and makes cleaning effortless.
Performance Benefits of Rotary-Formed Technology.
Rotary forming applies pressure to the barrel of the wheel as it spins, compacting the aluminum structure and increasing tensile strength. The result:
-
Up to 15% lighter than comparable cast wheels.
-
Stronger barrel density for high-speed stability.
-
Reduced unsprung weight for sharper turn-in response.
-
Enhanced durability suitable for spirited driving or track days.
For C8 owners seeking a lightweight wheel upgrade without committing to a full forged set, Forgestar’s rotary-formed line provides the best balance of value, style, and performance.
