[Vwdiesel] 14" wheels on a Quantum

[The President]

Griz and Gary thanks for the response. I've not had time to study the 
problem as the Quantum is 10 miles away on the farm. I'm not sure if the 
stud pattern is smaller or larger as it was a quick proffering up outside a 
shop. I did notice that the hole for the hub was bigger than all my other 
wheels. I'll make the effort tomorrow to measure the spare.
