Tim, Thanks for the info, think I'll look into this. But I still have some more questions: >used price is $150/, still too high. Check out Audi 5000Turbo 2WD rims, >15"x6", bolt pattern matches and with 205/60/15 tires you look way cooler >and handle way better, still with stock ride height. You will need to have a >machinist bore out the hub centres to about 2" to clear the axle stubs, >$10/rim, but these are $50-75/rim up here that's Cdn $$) You will need >longer bolts up front and longer studs in rear. Add another $20, plus effort >to install new rear studs. ------------ I have an '87 westy * syncro *. Does this make the job any different? ====== >This gets you into the world of 15" tires, and the diversity of tires is >well worth the initial effort. These are big-wide 6 spoked rims, lot like >the SA 15" alloys they put on newest vanagons. Suit the vehicle perfectly. ------------- Will the tire guys know what I need now? Will they still have to have reinforced sidewall? ======== >Chris... had/has pix on his site of a ready to go set for $150/all 4 I think. What is his URL?
