Subject:Wheels for Vanagon Syncro
From:Dick Wong <sailingfc@DSLEXTREME.COM>

I have an opportunity to get (4) wheels off my friend's Audi 2003 A6
Quattro.  They are 16x7, ET45.  I have tried them on the front and they fit
with a spacer.  I did not have a chance to try them on the rear yet.

Does anyone see a problem with this?  I see that the original alloys have a
"LT" (light truck?) designation on them.  Will the Audi wheels be strong
enough?

If this works, I plan on buying 215/65x15 tires. This combination will give
me an overall diameter pretty close to the 27x8.50-14 tires that I have
right now, which is giving me correct speedo numbers (checked using a GPS).

Thanks.
