Re: Will stock 5ks rims fit 4ksq?



In a message dated 97-07-15 19:08:03 EDT, you write:

<< Mmm, no.  5k's (and ur-q's) are 5 bolt (112mm), 4k's are 4 bolt (100mm
 pre-85, 108mm 85 and up)  Don't know if it has anything to do with the
 model names.  Guess not, 'cos then a 100 or 200 wouldn't have enough lug
 bolts!
 
 There is a guy in northern Cali (you q-club guys know him) with 5k
 struts on his ur-q fendered turbo 4k road racer.  I forgot his name.
 
 Hmmm...  I do want to get some nice 'center lock' wheels, though.  Some
 nice Fikse's, or a set of RH's like in the D&W catalog.  Those could
 qualify as one lug nut.  But I digress...

BZZZTTTTTT!  Wrong, Chi Che!
Normal 5000's have a 4x 108 pattern, just like coupes and quattros.
 4000quattros had 4x108 bolts in 1984.  Coupe's got them in late 84/85.  Even
some of the 5000 quattros have 4x108's (and some of the 100's, non turbo
type).   The 4000S got them in 87, and the 4000CS (both non quattro) had
4x108's in 86.  The quatto coupe, non turbo, also has 4x108's although it's a
europe only edition.  SOOOOO.....if you have a set of non quattro, non turbo
5000 wheels, they will fit a coupe GT and a 4000 quattro.
