Bought me Ronal Firehawks
I bought 91-92 17x9.5 Ronal Firehawk wheels off HAWKS. Im going with the 275/40/17 in the back. I wondering if i should do the same up front. Im afraid if i put 275/40/17 up front. Im afraid that they will rub and cause problems. Please any opinions will be helpful. Thank you

MAchined finish with black I'm guessing? I love those wheels.

....well a lot of people seem to be putting them up front, but I'm not sure if it required any work.

I just posted in another thread the other day saying that I had the Ronal Firehawk rims on my IROC running 275/40/17's with ZERO clearance issues.

Thanks. Too bad thyey are long gone back to the ex, she sold them and the guy that bought them ended up putting two of them into a guard rail Oh well..

Honestly my GTA rims are much lighter and the car brakes much better with them. Yay for less rotational weight.
