Default ROH-RT ?'s

I got some newbee questions about the ROH RT's. I am looking at 18x8 front and 18x10 rear.
Are these really 18x10's or 18x10.5's / 18x8 vs 18x8.5
What do I need for these to fit, I guess a BFH and special offset?
What size tires would fit these 2 wheel sizes (preferably Nitto)?

Thanks,
Kyle

8" wheel more than likely a 265/40 tire and the 10" a 285/35 or 295/35.

If you get the right offset a bfh would not be needed. An adjustable panhard is good though.

8" wheel, around a 35mm offset, and the 10" wheel, I'd say around 40mm.

WOOHOO! I just found that Nitto makes a 305x35! I was starting to get pissed cause I thought I was stuck with a Nitto 285(too small) or 315(dangerously big) Those should work perfectly. Thanks for your help.
edit: hold up, I can't find a cheap all season 265x40 tire...does anybody make one to fit a 18x8 wheel.

I do beleive the RTs come in 18x9 which would allow a 275 front. That's what I'll be doing when I order the RTs later this year.

Check out groupawheels, they are the main distributor over here in the states for ROHs. They should be able to set you right.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm also interested in these wheels. I'm going with 17X9 in the front, what would be a good choice for the rear? The 18X10's? Also what size tires should I go with? Thanks.

I have a set of 18x9 chromed Roh RTs with 275/35's Toyo Proxes T1-S.

The 17x9 and 18x9 have a 43mm offset and the 18x10 have a 49mm offset if I remember correctly.

Ask for Jeff Curran at Group A Wheels. He is very knowledgable and great to deal with. Tell him Gregg Gooters sent you.

Not yet. I should have them this Monday. The wait is killer, but two wheels were damaged beyond repair to be chromed on the way to the chromers. I don't hold anything agianst GroupA since it was beyond their control. They also handled the situation perfectly. I will post pics when I get them.
