Subject:      Are Audi wheels unsafe on a Vanagon?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

I really don't want to uncork this subject on list again, as I have read pretty extensively in the archives about it, but.....

Was a conclusion ever come to by someone who really knows the science behind tires/wheels/offsets.

If the correct spacers are used to make the offset the same as stock, will there be any safety or mechanical issues?

Please pmail me if you can shed any light on this as I can get a set of Audi 6 spoke alloys for $100, and I'd like to know if this is a bad idea or not.

thanks all.
