Subject:      EuroVan: Audi 5000 Turbo wheels?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I recently gave a set of Audi 5000 Turbo wheels to a friend with a '93 EV.
The EV has a 15x6 ET 44 wheel, the Audi 5k Turbo is 15x6 ET 45.  Has anyone
here run a set of these wheels on a EuroVan?  The steel EV wheels appear to
be hub centric, the hub on the Audi wheel is larger than the EV hub so I'd
assume spacer rings, like what come with aftermarket wheels, would be
required.


The wheels were originally purchased for my Vanagon, but I decided not to
modify the Vanagon with longer studs which would not allow the use of the
original stock alloys and lug nuts.
