Hi Dennis Reason I ask is for one of the sets Audi 16" or VW 15" will go on my 71 Bay bus that is Lowered. I have a whole different set of rules to play by on this set up. Not looking for tall, More on the Low side of the world. Thanks Jonce >By the time you are done with spacers, longer wheel bolts front, studs rear >etc. why not get wheels that fit? > >If you have the alloys you could also go to a 225/70-14. Nokian makes a >wonderful tire in that size, ($$). > >The Audi wheels could be a good choice. 66mm is the center bore needed and >will also keep them hub centric for the front of Syncros.
