Chris,

You should be able to make the wheels fit but you will need lower profile
tires to clear the fenders and the rear swingarm. Remember that the 16"
Syncros have a slightly longer wheelbase specifically to allow for a larger
wheel and tire combination in the rear. BTW, I've already trial fit the
hweels from my 16" DoKa on my 87 2wd.
