stretch on ronal turbos....

i want to put some stretch on my ronal's and spacers on the rears. but need advice. what tyres do i go for and how wide spacers do i go? HELP……..

turbos are only 7" wide to to get any kind of stretch you will be looking at something like a 175 50… which isnt exactly a wide tyre.

as for the spacers, anything more than 5mm will need longer bolts, and then you are getting into the zone where the spiggot wont be doing its full job and supporting the wheel central,

what offset of turbos are you running?

hi mate, the offset is et28…. i think lol. its what my reciept says.
any more advice?

cheers…

165 50 15 looks good. et 28 will take a 15 maybe even 20 mm spacer with this size of tyre and should get a decent drop without any arch work.

However it will drive like sh**.

Better option is a 195 45 15 tyre with a decent drop and forget the spacers!! imo

the turbos are on a cabby with clipper kit, so i dont drive fast in it any way…lol more of a posing sunny day car  8) .

so not going to be thrashing it!

any more than 5mm space and you need longer bolts, also above 8 or so you will be running out of spigot for the wheel to mount on depending on the back of the wheel it can be ok up to 10 or so… but it will be a crap ride and will feel like the wheels are unbalanced…as they wont be on perfectly in line.

get some proper 195 45 tyres on there and have some grip  :wink:

if you ceck the readers ride bit, it has pics on my track car on page 1 of my thread running turbos in et28 with 195 45s
