ronal ls with spacers?

[mark///m3]

i was thinking about adding spacers to my ronal ls in the rear. i have 225 tires but an early car so the back is a bit higher so i dont think they will rub.
just wondering if anyone has done it and if they have any pics

go for it. even something modest, like a 5mm spacer, will make them noticeably different.

have someone(or more than one) person sit in your car/on your trunk to compress the rear shock and see how much space is in between the fender and the tire. space accordingly. (the closer to the fender, the better it looks)

I'm necro bumping this thread since I'm curious to see if anyone is running spacers with their Ronal LS's.

would like to see this too... running a 225/50 on my 15x7 ronals. Back tucking tire now and not rubbing. I trimmed the fender a bit just in case and would like to pull them out a little.

a suggestion to check for rubbing (i do this on all my cars when testing fitment) -

Jack the car up and put it on stands (or leave it on a good jack, whatever haha)
Get a second jack and jack the wheel up indepedantly.

this'll show you where it goes in it's travel motion and you can see how much room you have etc.

Yeah, I'm going to be running 225/45/15's.

Anyone running spacers on their LS's????

that's almost the same wheel as original BBS 7x15 Et24...
they are far too much under the arches, especially in the rear

Which is why I want to see a picture of them pushed out a little (especially the rears.)

I'd like to know what size spacers are ideal to get a more flush look with 225/45 size tires. Maybe I'll ask Mystical.

15x7.5 et25 right?

id say with a 225, you dont want to go any wider in the front, and maybe only 5mm or so in the back. it may not look close, but you still might get rub with fenders rolled unless you have super stiff suspension.

Yes, 15x7.5 et25 is correct.

I guess I'll have to get the tires mounted and see how much room I have for spacers in the rear. ~5mm is what I was thinking. I'm not too concerned about the fronts.

I bought 5mm H&R spacers for my BBS
will install them tomorow and post some pics
with more than 10mm I think it would look bad

i know that **x7.5 et 25 wheels can fit 235 tires with rolled fenders, so theoretically **x7.5 et20 with 225s is the same distance from the fender and should fit.

bumping this way from the dead...

I have Ronal Ls's with 225/50/15's lowered on GC's.

I previously had 16x8 wheels with a 0 offset, which made me roll my fenders ALOT...which is now offering the impression that I have alot of room to spare even with the 225's in teh back.

I'm order some hubcentric 5mm spacers and hope this will give the look I want.

I am 99.9% sure your wheels will not be hubcentric with those spacers.
