[urq] winter tire / rim question

[Ed Kellock]

In the past I have run S4 winter-package wheels (15x7.5, et40) on my
urq with 195/65-15 snows without any interference.

I've been watching this thread with great interest.  I want some snows
for my urq but I want them to also work for my V8q.  It sounds like my
plan is workable.

My plan is to use the standard flat-faced V8 wheels (15x7.5 et35) with
205/60-15 tires.  I've seen plenty of people using 15x7.5, et35 wheels
on urq's (out here in CO anyway) and 205/60-15 was the stock size for
the earlier urq's, on 15x7 et45's, so I figure there would be no
problem.

The 205/60-15's might not be optimal for the urq, but they are about
the least I feel comfortable with on the V8, so I think it's a decent
compromise between the two.
