RE: 14" wheels on 90q?

["Perry, Chris" <perryc@wdni.com>]

Shouldn't be a problem.  My 89 90q(US) came with 14" alloys as standard.
Just make sure they are of a 4x108mm bolt pattern.  If you are running
205/50/15 tires you will want to put 195/60/14's on the new rims to keep the
speedo accurate.
HTH,
