[urq] Compomotive Question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm.  Can't respond to the 16x8 MO's, but I have (and have mounted) my
Compomotive 17x8 MO's mit custom ET30 offset and 235/45 rubber (I know -- I
had to test fit them).  :-)

But 10mm offset seems awfully close to the fender to me -- maybe 15mm.  I
suppose I could attempt this weekend to test fit (without rubber) if you'd
like.
