This is not true. Syncros have a centering ring on the front hub. Audi
wheels hit this ring. A spacer or center hole machining is needed. If a
spacer is used longer front studs will be needed. The rears will fit ok
if the 2 small bolts holding the drum on are removed. The center caps
won't fit on the rear unless spacers are used for the wheels. If spacers
are used longer studs will be needed.
