Hmmm... I have pictures of a 1984 90 quattro (4000 to you folks) with 8x15
Ronals for you to see. Fitted fine, even with 205-section tyres! I drove
that car, and believe me, the tyres didn't hit anything on the body, even
cornering extremely hard with a very fat (and scared!) car salesman next to
me!

Bye,

Tom

  Half a bee, philosophically, must ipso facto half not be. But can it be
  an entire bee, if half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury?
