Well, as i replied to a very similar thread last week, I am running 
185/70-14 snows on my 89 90Q (with lowering springs) with no clearance 
issues.  No snow, either.

They are bigger in the well than stock (well bigger than the 205/50-15's 
I run in the summer...), but fit and work fine.  Mounted on et 45 Audi rims.
