90cs wheels & tahrs.



Hello list,
 
 An immediate concern and a couple stray questions/comments regarding
the
 care and feeding of my "new" 1994 90cs non-q:
 
 1.  Before I plunk $XXX down on a "new" set of wheels & tahrs I'm
 looking at, I want to confirm my suspicion that they will in fact fit
on
 the vehicle.  Currently has the stock 15" rims and Kelly Charger 195/65
 R-15's. I would like to replace them with 16x7.5" Borbet type M's and
 Yokohama AVS-I 205/45 ZR-16's.  Can do?  In the archives, there is a
 reference to 205 & 7.5" being the max as far as width you can put on a
 1993-95 90 without messing with the offset.  Is that correct
 information?
 
 Couple references to Yokohamas in a quick browse of the archives, but
 does anyone have any other specific feedback on the AVS-I's?  I imagine
 I will not want these on the vehicle during a Pittsburgh winter;
confirm
 or deny?
 
 2.  I'm led to believe that the only service/repair manual available
for
 this car is the VW/Audi-direct repair manual at (at last count) $395 a
 pop.  I don't suppose anyone has stray parts of this lining their
 birdcages or anything.
 
 3.  The car was bought with a nice-sized ding in the underside of the
 chin on the front passenger side (this was accounted for in the
purchase
 price, at least I'm allowed to believe so :) ), and rather than
 exchanging this or that limb for a dealer to replace it with the stock
 part I would like to find something a little more distinctive.  Can
 anyone recommend a person/place/thing for a decent aftermarket chin
 spoiler for a '94 90?  Life would be much easier if a front spoiler for
 an A4 would fit, but accounting for a couple inches here and there in
 width I imagine this wouldn't work out of the box, right?
 
 4.  I can confirm for anyone who was wondering that when your
 three-year-old drops your remote key in the potty and you fish it out
 real quick, it will still work.  (There's an FAQ entry for you!)
 
 Thanks in advance!
 
 Matt, just a '94 90cs non-everything, but I like it.
