[Vwdiesel] 14" wheels on a Quantum

[griz_quattro]

Mark,

The Quantum sometimes had 4x108 wheels just like the Audi 4000 quattro 
and some of the 1986 & 1987 Jetta GLI's. I had the same problem with my 
'86 Jetta. Went to a junk yard to buy a full size spare and found it 
didn't fit. My Jetta had the 4x108 wheels/hubs. Very difficult at the 
time to find wheels that fit. Later went to Discount Tire for a new set 
of wheels, told the clerk I needed the 4x108 size. Wheels came in a few 
days later and shop guys couldn't get them on since the computer system 
had overridden the 4x108 size and instead sent 4x100's.
