<<  believe the Speedline rims that came on the 20V 90 Sedans were a 45mm
 offset, 4x108mm bolt pattern on a 15x7 rim.  This is different than the CQ
 Speedlines which were either a ET35 or ET37.  Brain fade you know....

As far as I know, all of the speedlines where the same - all ET37's, and all 
15x7.5.  I've got a set of later 90 Quattro Sport alloys, ET37 15x7's, 4x108. 
 I also have a set of ET45 4x108 15x6's off of a 1991 100, and several sets 
of 4x108 14x6's.  My Mille Miglias are 15x7, 4x108, ET35, with 225/50/15 
Goodyear GSCS slicks (actually measurable at 235..) , which don't work on the 
GT quite yet (fenders need to be rolled, and tie rods ground down a touch) 
but they will.  I was able to drive the car with them on, although it 
resulted in a touch of bent lip metal and loss of some rubber.  Eventually, I 
hope to run 245/40/16 or so, when the flares are on.  That will be on most 
likely 0mm offset 16x8 Forgelines, to fill the fenders.  Just my input...

Later!
