people running A8 et37 wheels on your 5000/200T, TQ's...read,please...

[JordanVw@aol.com]

for those of you who are running the A8 16x7 et37  5 spoke "sport" wheel on 
your typ44T, or typ44TQ, the safer thing to do is to run the A8 37mm wheel up 
front, as it is spaced a safe distance away from the tie rod ends, and run 
the A4 45mm wheel on the rears, as it is spaced a safe distance away from the 
rear wheel well (body). 

running the A4 45mm wheel up front is doable, but dangerously close to the 
tie rod end, IMO. hard cornering or bottoming out could send the tire into 
contact with the tie rod end, rupturing it. 

running the A8 37mm wheel in the rears is also doable, but as before, hard 
cornering or bottoming out could result in tire contact with the inner 
wheelwell. 

ok, now the reason for my post :<)
i have a pair (2) of A4 16x7 et45  5 spoke "sport" wheels, that i would like 
to trade for a pair (2)of 5 spoke et37 A8 "sport" wheels...  Both A4, and A8 
are both 16x7 and look identical, other than the different offset.
so if anyone out there who's running the A8 wheels on your typ44 T, TQ who 
would like to not worry about having their tires rub your inner rear 
wheelwells, maybe we can trade.   there was someone who wanted to trade me 
before, but i lost his email..

anyone want to trade?
