      No problem, I think it looks much better with the Ronal.
      Are you lowered are all? Where was it rubbing from?
      Hers mine with the same wheels.

        Yes the cars lowered. Bilestein HD and HR sport springs. Seems to be rubbing in all 4 corners, can't tell if its inside or outside edges.
        Nice looking ride.

          As said before, they are Ronal LS, 15"x7.5", most likely ET25. You can remove the center caps and it should be stamped there. Same wheels as I've had on my old 89 Cabriolet and now going on my e30 vert. Correct size should be 205/55-15.
          x2 on tire size for the LS's and I think that is what Ronal even mentions for tire recommendation. Running the same wheel/tire combo with no rubbing issues.

              Don't run these this winter here in New England or you will be paying to have them refinished.

              I would have a set of spare wheels standing by if you plan to use your car this winter.

              What size tire is that? Looks a little ballooned so suspect it might rubbing on the inside by the strut housing.

                Yes I am going to put the old ones back on with snow or all season tires. Save these rims for non-winter use.

                Also what do you mean by "ballooned"?

                Looking inside the front, it does look like it would rub on the strut houseing but in the rear though their appears to be plenty of space. Maybe rubbing the ix fender flares on the rear?

                  They look slightly oversized. What size tire is that.

                    225/50 15. I had this same size on my old rims. Since they rub on these, I am going to put them on my old rims and use during winter. Replace these tires either with a 215/50 or 205/50.

                      I completely disagree. The new wheels look great.
