Carter,
thanks for the feedback...

Nope, my 1984 CGT has 4x100 hubs, and my '83 80Q and '85 CQ both have 4x108
which is how I first noticed that the difference existed...
Brakes are 4 wheel disc (vented fronts) on the quattros and CGT has drums
on rear and plaind discs (I think) on the front...
Haven't measured the discs though...

So I assume the 4x108 and the 4 wheel discs came with the quattro's...
these are all euro models, and all '85 or earlier, so something may have
changed in later years or for US spec cars ?

Yup, they're 205's...
So the 15x8"s are obviously the Ur rims with the spokes inset slightly from
the outer rim...
I like those, but I think I need an Ur to put them on... maybe next month...!

Thanks again for the feedback, very helpful...

cheers
