 Where did you get the 16" wheels?  Audi?

 Do you think you will have a problem with the 29.2" 225-75-16s rubbing?  I
 was thinking of this size but the 205-80-16s by Michelin come in at 28.9"
 (also factory in the Syncro 16s).

HI David, how are things up there in beautiful Canada?  My 16" rims are Ronal
R9's which were discontinued about 3 years ago.  I was very lucky to find a
new set on the shelf of a Mercedes racing team in SanFran.  I called Ronal in
Arizona which gave me the phone number in SF.  The rims are a perfect fit,
especially for the syncro.
 On the tire I want to use, I will be buying one tire first for a test fit.
See ya.
