So, after chasing down some wheels I thought would be perfect for my Z I came across these. I love the "muscle look" of them. They did take a bunch of coercing to fit. Let me know what you guys think!

6" Step lip

The frontend fitment looks too far out the rear looks great did you put spacers in the front

Seconded. It now needs to be lowered a little bit, and get some fender flares!

Thanks for the compliments!
No spacers. From seeing the offsets chosen in the RBR buy (-13/-19) I guess the front is just more narrow.
I'm wondering about clearance with lowering though. I imagine the back would tuck, but I think the fronts stick out too far. Reguardless... Anyone have lowering springs they wanna sell? Possibly from switching to coil overs?

-63 offset??? Never heard of such a beast! Anyhow rolling the fenders is useless when the tire stick out PAST the fenders. You'll need to cut the fenders and put bolt on flares which would look great IMHO... oh and drop it a foot ;)

Keep your eyes out for a pair of those same wheels. You may need to look a long time. I've seen them before and they come in other offsets that will allow the front to fit a little better.

Overall looks good except for the drastic outward fitment of the front wheels. :)

Yeah FricFrac -63! lol. I rolled the fenders to make the rears fit, and now they do without any rub. Before the roll the body took a good 1/4 in strip of rubber off my tire. Whoops. No rubbing on the front (imagine that!) haha.
I wanna do the fender flares, anyone mocked up some ZG flares on the s130? Oh and lower it "about a foot" :wink: It really does need it! Thanks Bleach! Really glad you guys like em!
