A big thanks to everyone that responded to my wheel and tire size
questions they were a big help, anyway  i forgot to ask what are some of
the brands of aftermarket wheels that will fit my syncro - most of the
manufacters advertise that there wheels fit japanese and american cars
but what happened to german cars. and also something i may have not been
clear on in my last posting on the list  (sorry) is my 87 syncro came
new with 185/70R14's --- is that the best size for my syncro keeping in
mind the gearing and syncro system or was vw just trying to put the
minimum tire size = ( minimum cost to them) on my van to get it rolling
down the road.     thanks again for everyones help and happy   motoring
