question about Fuchs

[auditude at neta.com]

Hi Ron,

I'll give a shot at an answer.  The Fuchs will be just fine.  Your 200 
BBS' are a lower offset than the Fuchs, which are 45mm.  They will 
sit in further.  I belive the Fuchs fit beautifully, based on lurking and 
reading only.  Congrats on finding a set.  Those and the Eibachs 
make your 5kcstq a rare breed.

Of course, ymmw on the Fuch fitment, but if it doesn't work out, I'll 
buy 'em off you! :-)  Actually, if you choose to put the Fuchs on and 
raise it up, I'd buy the springs too! :-D
