If these wheels do not fit on your 86 5kcstq because of bolt pattern,
they
will also not fit on any 84 - 86 Turbo or Quattro.
Could we have some clarification on why they do not fit?

Gentlemen!!
The wheels have the proper 5x112 bolt pattern.
I guess I should have mentioned that my 86 5kcstq is lowered 1.5" w/
H&R springs.
Even with 1.5 deg neg. camber they will not clear unless i roll the
fender lips in the rear.
They fit fine in front and do not rub at all. It's the 35mm offset that
is killing me....
I have spoken with Graydon about machining them (as he indicated) and I
suppose it is possible
to get away with that. If you go to a 45 mm offset, you only have
about 4mm of hub thickness
from the bottom of the lug seat. Makes me wonder....?? I'm not sure
I want to spend anymore
money on this project. My racecar needs a new engine and the $$$ could
certainly be used for that.
For those interested, the tires are H rated.
I hope someone can use them! (I currently have an offer of $950...so I
thinking seriously of selling.
