I have had winter wheels for 2 200 20-v's. I have used 92-95 s-4 speedlines over g-60s, then switched cars to UFO. The 16 inch wheels are big enough diameter but the caliper interferes without spacers. The A-4 6 spoke wheels currently on the car (45 offset) have 5mm hubcentric H&R spacers and work great.

I've shod my daughters and wife's car[s] with Blizzaks for several
years now
and I've just fought winter with my A/S's on OE wheels and
AWD..........well, I'm tired of fighting and want a dedicated winter
wheel/tire. The
UFO's are the main reason I haven't done this earlier. Chris Miller's
site
has some listing of fit /no fit wheels, but it deals primarily with 17"
wheels.
There is a list of steel wheels [which would be fine] that fit, but,
I've
had no luck finding them. So, I've been to Tirerack.com and they have
several
wheels that come up with 200q20v entered. One in particular seems
right,
Borbet Type B, 15x7, 5-112, 35mm offset. Does anyone have any knowledge
of this
or any wheel in 15" or 16" that will fit over the UFO's. I figure I'll
wait and
see if anyone knows, if not I'll order one wheel, see if it fits, then
go
from there.
BTW, as soon as I get a dedicated winter package it will not snow for
weeks.
It hasn't stopped snowing for more than a day or two here for weeks,
coming
down in serious fashion now!!
