Wheel clearance
I mounted my new to me A4 5 spoke wheels on my '92 100S yesterday. Big
improvement in appearance and also in handling with the 205 55 16 Pirelli
P6000 tires ($59 from Discount Tire Direct BTW, good deal). I am a little
concerned about inside tire clearance on the front wheels though. With my
old 15x7 wheels with 195 65 15 tires, I could fit my fingers between the
tire and the part of the wheel bearing housing where the tie rod is attached
(probably 1 in of clearance). With the new wheels, I can barely fit my
little finger between the tire and the wheel bearing housing (less than .5
in of clearance). I took the car out for a good long ride today thru the
twisties, etc, and could not detect any rubbing. I know Audi put this same
wheel on some late C4 A6's in '96-'97 (same front suspension as my 100), so
their shouldn't be a problem, right? TIA.
