LS1 frt brakes and Ronal Firehawks :-)

Looks like they will fit, it is really close and if I would have had time I would have played some more.

More than likely still need the spacers/spacer for them but physically they clear everything, just getting a little too close for comfort.

Mine arent mounted with tires as of yet but threw the rim on the assembly while i was getting everythign squared away. Looks like using the supplied spacers or one of a slightly smaller offset would work. Inside rim clearance could prove an issue depengin on how you balance your wheels.

Rrrrrrrrrr.

Here I was, hoping for pics...

I'll be doing the same brakes courtesy of Ed, but with Ronal R9s. Interesting that you mention the balancing. I usually have the tapeweights installed as opposed to the hammer-on-the-lip type. Might need to change how I have that done since the R9s are 16" and not 17"...

So, who cares about tires? POST PICS ALREADY. haha j/k

Cant promise anything, I'm fighting the weather to finish the car.

If I can get a digi camera and some spare time in between finishing the car on sat, I will try and take a few pics. I have no rubber for the 'Hawks yet, just the rims at this point.
