What You Guys Think About This Crazy VIP Super Wide Lips
These are manufactured by Ray's Engineering, under the line called VICTRIX.
These wheels are maximum VIP. They make a heavy statement and mean business.
Specifications:
Front:
18x12 -2
Trampo GWING @ 265/35/18
Rear:
18x13 -15
Yokohama ES100 @ 275/35/18
AND OFFCOUSE I WOULD NEED THE FENDER TO BE ROLLED... BUT MY QUESTION IS WOULD IT BE GOOD ENOUGH?, OR WOULD I NEED TO GET WIDE FENDER?...

In regards to your question, fender rolling wouldn't help...there is way too much wheel going outwards. I had to flare my front fenders with an 18x9.5 +22 with an 18x12 with a -2 offset you're dealing with a situation where you need almost 3 inches added to your fender clearance.

Wouldn't put them on a Z, but as stated above they would look better for VIP style cars. But even if I were to do a VIP car, I would prob roll with a different wheel.

as far as the wheels/setup/size/offset posted above... all
