[s-cars] AVUS Wheels

[Taka Mizutani]

Teddy-
Offset and width do not necessarily dictate whether or not brakes will
clear- it's
the backspacing from the spoke face that determines clearance.

This is why a ton of wheels do not clear the big brakes that many people are
running
(I have the same issue with the STi and the Brembos).
