Ronal R15/LS1 Brakes
After searching, I'm finding contradicting information. Some posts say LS1 brakes fit with Ronal's, and others say that they don't. Can anyone confirm if you can fit LS1 front brakes with Ronal's? From what I can tell, they seem like they should be able to clear?

Re: Ronal R15/LS1 Brakes
I dont have the exact answer but there is no reason why they would not fit. LS1 brakes came on Z28's with 16" wheels. You should be fine.

Re: Ronal R15/LS1 Brakes
I wouldn't think they wouldn't either. But the caliper/spoke clearance is pretty tight on these wheels. I have Wilwood FSLI Calipers with C4HD rotors currently and I'm not diggin how thick of a spacer they require to run. Considering changing things up a bit. I'm thinking I might possibly have to change and re-modify new spindles too. Current brackets use a std thread bolt. It looks to me like the LS1 brackets were made to use metric bolts.

Re: Ronal R15/LS1 Brakes
Could be a difference with original and later versions of the wheels? Was there ever a repop of the 17" r15?
