Those look like the ones! They look a little lighter than I remember tho. Where'd you find them?

I looked at pic2 as well. I remember seeing that TA before. Those wheels seem like they stick out too far in the back tho. I wonder if he got a custom offset or if those are the ones made for thirdgens.

Found them in the readers rides. I have no idea what size/offset they are. Sorry

I'd hazard a guess and say they're 17x9 (considering the tires are 275s and I don't think ROH makes a 9.5" wide rim, only 9").
If that was the case, then you'd want a 5" backspacing.
And those are badass tires, that's the exact tire I run (size, brand, etc.).

I'd like to see the rest of the vehicle. Looks like a Yukon or something cause it don't look like a thidgen.

It's an 84 TA.
Jza, with a 5" backspacing, is it going to stick out like this one, or is it going to come out to the stock location? With my car being lowered, my other wheels (which stick out a 1/2" more than my stock wheels) rub my wheel opening over bumps.

Other than looking like it's on stilts, I really like it. This weekend maybe I'll trying taking pics of my car at the proper angle and working a little photoshop magic.

Here's a trick I learned: Raise the wheels instead of lowering the car. Same effect, much, much less editing.

Ok, I lowered it just a couple seconds ago, and I personally think that car is better either way. I think it looks great lowered and not. 2 different styles. I too am buying a 1984 T/A with a LG4/Auto. So I am really diggin that car. Looks like the one I am going to buy with the exception of the wheels.

Those are the ROH ZS wheels, in their "BLACK ICE" finish...I'm pretty sure they still make them...

I have 275/40 tires on 17x9 ROH Snypers which have the same backspacing as the ZS. My IROC has been lowered with Hotchkis springs, and I had a little bit of rubbing on the lip of the rear wheel well before I rolled it up with the handle of a baseball bat.
The backspacing in the front is just about perfect.
If I had an additional 1/4 inch of backspacing in the front, I think the wheel would hit the end link.

Seem alittle to thin for the rims on our style of cars. However some like to show of the disc brakes, I dunno why... I am waiting for the day when someone shows me a picture of the rim with one spoke (is that how its spelled?) THE L-RIM
