Wheels for ZG flares?

[justin260z]

I am planning to get a set of ZG flares. I just need to know what some of you all are running for wheel/tire combo. I am going to mount the flares the "right" way (cut out the fender etc.), and I dont want the wheels to be set inward too far. I want the wheel to be really close to the outside of the flare. Like this......

10s or 9.5s should get it done. I got a 16x12 Panasports but the 12 is too big for my Works over fenders.

I bought 3 piece ROH Venturo wheels in 17 inch. 17x8.5 (-6 offset) for front and 17x9.5 (-19 offset) at the back. 5-6 weeks to be made. I think tyres are 225x45 front & 255x40 rears.

Wow, your Z is gorgeous. How much did the wheels and tires cost you?

Hi Justin,

ROH is an Australian company and when I bought the wheels they were still making them here. Someone recently told me they are now making them from China, not sure if that is true or if it would affect price. Anyhow I paid AUD$1700.00 which would be about USD$1550.00 however that was about 3 years ago and price might have changed since. Can't remember how much I paid for tyres.

I think ROH would have a distributor in the US if that is your location. Their website below, it's pretty cool seeing you can rotate all the wheels in some sort of flash image on the website.
