7.5x16 wheels for '87 Coupe Quattro (not UrQ!) ???

[Piirainen Antti]

Not sure if this is a FAQ or not, since the car is usually outnumbered in
terms of threads for UrQ or the FWD Coupes, but I'll try anyway.

I'm close to buying new alloys and tires for my Coupe Quattro. The model
I've chosen is AEZ Radon in 7.5x16 (ET 35) and the tires will be Bridgestone
Potenza S-03 PP in 205/50R16. The dealer couldn't give a straight answer to
my question on whether they'll fit or not. The car is a 1987 Coupe Quattro,
_not_ UrQ, so it doesn't have wide arches. It has 80Q (or 4kQ in the States)
transmission and suspension in a Coupe (GT) body, and it's a factory model,
all done in Ingolstadt.

There's plenty of room in the front, but the rear arches are a bit tight,
and to make it even trickier, the car is lowered a bit. The arch lips
haven't been rolled.

Will they fit? If you don't have any experience, please at least share your
thoughts.
