This wheel tire combo SHOULD fit just fine. However I discovered
something last week disturbing. Mighty be suspension related, it
should'nt in theory but heres the story. 

There was an autocross up north last weekend. The weather was shitty,
raining and such. I decided to borrow the 14X6 SP8000's off the wifes Roc
to use as rain tires just in case the weather was still crappy 100+ miles
north. So I swapped her 14X6 Audi wheel's for my 15X7 TSW EVO's. The
15X7's (with 195/50R15's) which have never had any problems on my 82 roc,
rub on her car! 

So, I guess my old saying that not all cars are created equal plays heavy
here. What I find funny still is I have my Koni's with the H&R race
springs on her (the 84) Roc. I have the same koni's and H&R road Race
springs on my (82) Roc. 

The bottom line is, you wont really know until you bolt up a set and see
what it does. kinda sucks but that's life.
