Just tried to fit my BMW 525i wheels from my 91, they would have been
perfect as 205/65-15 is the standard size for the 525i.
However, the bolt spacing was wider, so a no-go with BMW wheels!   The hub
and off-set were fine, but those dang wholes didn't line up...
One would hope that the Germans would have been more consistent... oh well!

If I remember correctly, the limit on the wheels I looked at was ~1300lbs.
That doesn't seem like enough to me and remember, I'm the guy running car
tires!   =)

Just my thoroughly investigated and well considered opinion Ken...
