RE: new 2 me 90q, questions

>From everything that I have read only the 1991 90Q 20v came with the 
"sport" package(15"  speedlines, dual pot brake calipers, 10.9" rotors 
etc.)  Does your car have the "sport" package?  If so I take it that the 
14" wheels will fit over the larger rotors and calipers.  Is this correct?
