Ti,

Are you sure about that?  I think perhaps the '85 (and maybe '86?) FWD
4000 used a 4x100mm Ronal 16-spoke, and then went to 108mm in '86/'87.

The reason I wonder:  when I pulled my rear disc axle at the junkyard,
I tried to put a Ronal wheel from an '85-'87 (integrated bumpers) FWD
4000 onto the axle to roll it out of the yard.  The wheel did not fit,
so I thought the Audi 90 axle had a bolt pattern larger than 108mm.
I had the notion that some 4000s used a 4x100mm Ronal wheel, though
so I tried the spare tire from my CGT and it worked.  Lesson:  at least
one '85-'87 FWD 4000 used a 4x100mm 16-spoke wheel.

Audi doesn't do _anything_ simple.
