Fuch removal/Revolution(ish)

[Grant Bessom]

The car is running an Eibach Pro kit with Boge shocks.  There may be about
45lbs of xmas gifts in the trunk.  However, even when I was running the
Fuchs with 205/55/15 tires, they were under the lip as well.  I need to find
out what offset and width they are.  Usually, I make smarter purchases.
This may turn out to be a stupid one.

I may end up having a set made.

I am concerned that there may be movement because I noticed some thread
marks inside the lug holes of the wheels that are missing the rings.  Yes, I
am using the org lug bolts.  Which may be too short.

Peace

Grant
