Mark,

Just two comments here.

First, I'm running 215/75x15's with the Audi 5000T rims and 5/16" (8 mm.)
spacers all around. No rubbibg that I can find.

Second, after adding longer studs to the rear axles, the machining costs,
clean-up and painting, I could only justify the Ronals because I preferred
their looks ... no cost savings over new low ball alloys.
