Hi all,
I have one question.
I have an offer to buy wheels
Ronal 7J16 5x112 et23
Will they fit to my T3 transporter, standard suspension etc.
I intend to put (if they can be fitted) 215/65 R 16 C rubber.
Comments, and opinions please.... [img][IMG]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8372/ronals16.th.jpg[/img]

Thanks in advance

In theory yes but you will probably need longer studs in the rear and stud conversions at the front.
You need the measurement of the wheel thickness where the stud/wheel bolts go through.

You also need to find out if the need taper or radius Nuts/Bolts.

Milan,
Here's a bit of reading for you.

Do a search for ronal on here and you'll find lots of information.

Thanks Titus,
I know that ET is little off (30 -39standard), but since I'm offered these for a bargain price (roughly 110 euro) compared to the eBay prices, I was wondering if anyone had them installed (with/without spacers) and so on. Sorry to waste your time, I know this question has been asked numerous times before.
I once stumbled across information that similar/same ET was installed as projektzwo standard, but can not find that info again.
Thanks for your effort, and time.

Kindest regards
Milan
p.s.
stupid of me to say, that spacers are needed, the wheels are already sitting a little wide.
So please - experiences ??

et 23 should be fine.
oettinger and projekt zwo both used ronal rims in that spec.

a 205 60 16 tyres would be good

i personaly would use
205 60 16 on the front and 225 55 16 on the back..

If the bolt holes are 14mm and taper seated they'll go straight on using the correct nuts and bolts as they are the exact same desjgn as the Projektzwo and Oettinger Ronals..

Guys, this forum is priceless,
answers to any question are abundant and informative as well,
Many thanks, I also taught that projektzwo was the same ET but was not sure.
I'll go and grab them, the rubber will have to wait, old 14" still have some 6mm depth, and
money (as always) is now needed for some more urgent matter.
Once again, many thanks, and

Best regards to all

Milan (happy bus owner)
P.S. merc center cap will be modified immediately using info from here.

You're welcome Milan.

If you've already got the standard VW 14" alloys then you can use those taper seated nuts and bolts.
If you've got 14" steels you'll need new nuts and bolts.

Not sure if the nuts/bolts are available in Serbia but Brickwerks sell them.....postage may be a bit expensive though?

@ steve,
we do not have a possibility to order from abroad, (or eBay for that matter) since we/ I live in a no EEC country (serbia).
BUT there are a lot of capable fitters/turners that can do anything you might think of for almost no cost at all.
I will just rely on that source for the necessary bolts, studs etc for my new wheels.
They should be "safe" in my garage tomorrow

correction,
we can order, and the items are delivered, but
the customs fee is enormous so it is not recommended
