Default 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?...

I see early wheel bearing failure in your future. And if the tire does not fit the rim it looks about ghetto.

if this is for the Z then i would say no. for a ls430, gs430, or something along those lines then yes.

They are nasty looking, and a 275 series on a 13" wide is just retarded, same thing goes for a 265 on a 12" wide. Those wheels

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.

I think that style looks better on VIP cars and not the Z.

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.

What!? Ive never heard of that size needing front fender rolling, what size tire did you have? How much was the car dropped? Ive seen so many Volk owners run 19X9.5 F with +22 and no rolling at all....

I have 8.5 wide in the front with 23 offset and I have less than 10mm before I will need to roll fenders, It will rub in corners otherwise. 9.5 wide +22 offset is 14mm extra...

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