My only concern was fitment. As the 205/45-16's that I want (Kumhos) are
not available right now, I wanted to get the combo sooner. Thus, the 215
question. I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience running this
diameter and width wheel on a Type 89 quattro.

To answer the other question -- it's on a 91 90q20v not a 200q20v.
