    God I love Ronals, so perfect

    Comment


      I'm running 225/50 on my ronals, what tire did you choose ?

        The only 225/50 that is available, Kumho Ecsta AST's. It's not that 225/50's are impossible to run, it's when you run them in conjunction with shortened coilovers (ground controls in my case). I fear that the threaded collar (spring perch) is going to clash with the tire, depending on how low I run them.

        Any thoughts on this? I know of a few people have run this exact setup without issue so perhaps I'm just being paranoid. I know clearance is going to be tight at the very least. Will update

            I love this.

            Updating... I got the Kumho's mounted today. Bolting the wheels up, I'm glad to say that it all fits, no rubbing whatsoever. I am honestly surprised. Looking at the strut clearance, I can fit maybe 3-4 business cards between the tire and threaded adjuster. Good thing I'm planning to space these out.

            Getting roundels installed on the ronal center caps. For future reference, the 70mm center cap roundel fits pretty well.



            From the looks of it, I might be able to fit 12.5mm spacers all around. That might be pushing it in the rear but I'm going to try this weekend.

              You have the ideal build. #1 in my books. Nuff said

                I like the style 5s better =[

                  They are, and will always be, the perfect e30 wheel in my book. But it was time to make a change.

                    Looks sick although the style 5s look good the ronals are less common

                      Did the tire rub the inside of the outer part of the rear wheel well?...if that makes any sense.

                        The Ronals look like BBS RZ's. They look good. We need a full car pic with the Ronals.

                          So... these kumho's do run wide, but they look so good! I'm going to continue with a 3-5mm spacer all around to give a bit more strut clearance but that's it. Will update

                            My wheel/tire sits closer than that to my coller (shortened housings) and has been for over a year - you're fine!

                              Yes. Same problem I'm having with the 225/50/15's right now (if I space them out a ton).

                              Waiting on some spacers but this change is almost done.

                                Just an update. Got the spacers and installed them. That portion is done. Also, I parted ways with the style 5's the other week. It's all Ronals now.

                                I finally got a set of euro grilles and installed them, so that's cool. The next little thing to address are the ellipsoids. The stock projectors are lackluster, but I can't blame them. Need to make some adapters for a retrofit. Will get some sexy bokeh pics up asap.
