I got some beautiful Audi 15" alloys for my '85GL. The hub clearance needs to be opened up a bit as I have seen posted previously. The thing that has me puzzled though is that the hubs will protrude through the wheel making it impossible to put the center cap back on. Basically, I would have gorgeous wheels with an ugly, rusty hub sticking through. Is this a snag in using the Audi wheels or am I forgetting something like a thick spacer etc. Would such a spacer, if needed, cause me bearing troubles by pushing outward the wheel mounting point? Thanks, Mark |
