In Europe the Coupe GT was optionally equipped with 6" Ronals and 195/55-15
tyres, but these tyres are quite expensive. 195/50-15 will do but odometer
will read too high. 205/50-15 will surely fit and look good. You must
however get info on ET-values (offset of rims) from alloy-manufacturers.
The 16-spoke Ronals (6 or 7J) may still be around, they look like the rims
that the Urquattro had and are really nice. Second choice could be the
5-spoke Ronals, they are also much easier to clean.
