[200q20v] 5x112(?) Ronal R8's

[David Schaible]

most likely they were 15x6 ronals (maybe 15x8 but these are harder to come
by) from a turbo quattro coupe and the bolt pattern is definitely the same
as i used to use the same snow tires and rims on both my 83 urq and my 20v
avant but i don't drive the urq in the winter anymore
