ROH ZS Wheel owners inside please

I know this has been asked about the Snyper wheels but they are sized in .5 inch incremets different. What size width for 17's does everyone have without rubbing? What offset? I would like to be able to rotate the wheels if possible. Thanks for the help.

I currently have ROH ZS wheels and they are 17x8.5 with 245/45/17 tires and they don't rub at all. With the size tire I'm running the overall diameter is almost exactly the same size as the stock tires that where on my car and they where 245/50/16. Also the offsets are the same for the front and rear so you will be able to rotate them. They are a nice fit, I got mine from www.groupawheels.com, they where really nice to deal with. Hope this helps.

I don't remember what the offsets are, when I ordered my wheels I just told them what car I had and I believe that there are only one offset you can get for those wheels for third gens. My wheels fit like stock ones, they don't stick out or sit in, they are a really nice wheel. Plus its an added bonus that the offsets for the front and rear are the same so rotating tires is easy.

I have the 17x8.5 in the front, and 17x9.5 in the rear. In the front I run 255/45/zr17's and I do have a little rub at full wheel lock. I'm sure its because I'm running 255's instead of 245's. The rear are 275/40/zr17's. ROH wheels are good quality. Honestly I wouldnt have gone with the ZS style, but hey they came with my car so I cant complain. Soon they will be going on my 90 RS.

Do a search for Skulte Performance Design. He has all the offsets listed.
