RE: Tires and wheels for my 4kq

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@classic.msn.com>]

I have the 205/45/16'a and I have no clearance problems.  The biggest thing to 
be careful of is offset.  You need to make sure that the offset on a 7" wheel 
is no less than 35mm and 40 on a 7.5" wheel.  You may even have a problem with 
those depending on tire model.  The d60's do not come in that size but there 
are plenty of high performance or even mid performance tires that would do 
well for summer driving.  Depends on whether you are going to hit the track 
anytime soon.

I'm planning on buying new wheels and tires for my Audi.   I had heard a
while back that a 205/45/16 tire should fit on an 85 4kq.  

s there any
clearance problems when going from a 6 x 14" stock wheel to a 7 x 16" wheel.
While looking for tires I have heard that the Dunlap D60 A2 are an excelent
all season tire.  I am accually looking for a summer tire.

Thanks,
