huh??  14" syncro had the same wheels as a 2wd.

Not everywhere, although maybe in the States that was the case.... 
In other markets including Australia where the syncro is far more
common, and this is admittedly 
the basis of my information, the syncro came standard with a 6J x 14"
steel rim and 205 R 14 C tyres.
The 2WD version was fitted with a 5.5 x 14" steel rim and 185 R 14 C
tyres.
