Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
I have been looking to buy a new set of wheels. I have thought about some Corvette wheels from OEWheels, but I dont know if I want to run spacers.
I know we dont have as many options with our bolt pattern unless we have plenty of $$$$ then options open up.
My question is will these wheels fit without sticking out? I want either a flush or tuck look. Also, I am running stock disk/drum brakes and 3rd gen rear.
Thanks for any advice/help. And yes I have searched.

Re: Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
WOW!!!! I thought that these had been discontinued years ago. When I bought them from Group A they still had to bring them over from Australia. The price is much better now too! Poop... I sold my set for $1500 w/ tires. Good deal.
I'm almost positive that is the same offset that I used on my set

I want these in the silver or light grey to go with the blue on my camaro.
I wish we had more options.
What size tires did you run?
Thanks

There are options out there - most of them are 17": Ronal Firehawk Wheels, Hawk's 17" GTA wheels, and CTW Motorsports wheels. Now if you want 18", for the most part you are SOL if you don't want spacers or spend a boatload - at least at this point...

Re: Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
I had looked at some of the other wheels you mentions. Your CTW wheels are nice, but I would like 18's. Plus either chrome or polished lip. I see too much TT2's and iroc wheels. GTA wheels are nice but not the look I want for the camaro. I do like the Ronal Firehawk wheels, but I have read the repops have some fitment issues. I may end up with some vette wheels with spacers, but would like a bolt on. I just cant see spending 600-800 each on custom wheels.

Re: Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
They fit very very nice. I originally had a 265/35 and 285/35 and stepped up to a 275/35, and 295/35 as pictured above. I did roll my rear fenders when going to a 295, as I found it would rub the fender lip on extreme hard corners with my lowered ride height. On a full lock turn I could get front tires to rub the plastic inner fender liner, but again my ride height is 25" fender height

Re: Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
Understandable.
Custom wheels (forged 3pc) in 18" would probably start around $800/each and go up from there. That would be a $5k investment in the end.
The issue is that affordable direct-fit 18" wheels are in very short supply. Did you ask if those wheels are even in stock?

I cant justify $5k for wheels/tires at least for a thirdgen.
If it was a six figure classic build maybe.
HAHA! Buy those ROH already

Re: Will these ROH Drift-R wheels fit?
Oh I would love to buy some 3 piece wheels for the camaro, but I would rather pay 1600-1800 for wheels and put the rest into the motor/trans/suspension/interior/ or paint.
That is the drawbacks of being a working man with a family and a budget.
Hopefully I can decide and purchase in the next few months.
