question about Fuchs

[Dave Aukerman]

Sort of.  The Fuchs will be fine.  I am running them on a 200tqw w/H&R
springs, which are a bit lower than the Eibachs.  The sidewall of your tire
will bulge less on the Fuchs due to the wider rim.  This is good.  However,
the Fuchs are the same offset as the stockers.  There is word on the street
that some of the Fuchs are 42mm offset, but mine (all five of them) are the
standard 45mm.
