Wheel question

[Ken]

Good morning Taka,

I am not running them now, but I had some Azev Type A's (still like that wheel)on my prior Coupe GT.  Mine were cone seat, and stock lug bolts wouldn't work.

As for lug bolt length, IIRC mine were the same as the ones that pop up from a search at Mcgard.com:

Search Results for Audi 5000, Quatro, Coupe, years 80-87
Thread Size: M14 x 1.5 bolt
OEM Hex Size: 17mm

It rings a bell anyway.  I don't know how to determine the correct length from scratch.  I bet tirerack.com has some good info.

I bought my wheels used from a guy that also had them on a Coupe GT.  Since they came with lug bolts and were already bought, I never had to deal with any hubcentric issues.  The wheels fit perfectly.  Supposedly, the guy that sold them to me looked at many pictures of wheels against a picture of the Coupe before he finally settled on the Type A's.  Mine were 16"'s.

That would look great on your 200q20v, is that what they are for?

Hth,

Ken
