Cabriolet rims / tire size

[Huw Powell]

> I'm looking at possibly getting a set of 15 X 7 (4 by 108, ET 37) rims from a 94 Audi Cabriolet for my 86 4kcsq and I had a question about possible tire sizes.  The car is stock now, but will have the H&R - Bilstein or Boge setup soon...

> The audiworld site lists the original tire size as 195/65 15, but I'd like to know if that's the only option.  Would a 205/50 work in this application?

4000 quattro stock is 195/60-14.  You should use a tire that has the
same *height* as that size, otherwise your speedo and odo will be off
and it will alter your gearing.

Something like 205/50-15 usually works well.
