It might just be the angle of the picture, but it looks like your front track is wider than the rear.

Have you checked to see what spacers you have got back there?

Hi!

It's not just the angle of the picture. I made these pictures when I bougt the car. Last week I changed the rims and tyres to the original Q4 rims with 195/50-15 tyres.
There were 3mm spacers on the front and no spacers at the rear. Now there are 3mm spacers on the front and on the rear.
I tried to mount 16mm spacers on the rear but didn't have the right bolts... I tried longer ones but 3 turnarounds of 1 bolt seemed too less to me!
Front track of all 155 is wider than the rear track...

When the 195/50-15 tyres are out of order, I'll refit the black 16" rims with 16mm spacers and 8 longer bolts at the rear... sometimes next summer, I guess...

Just noticed the Recaro seats that you have just got. Nice. Are they from a 155 or something else?

Are they from a 155 or something else?

Hi!

Yes, they are originally from a 155 TD WideBody (1997), which was crashed (color ref. for the seats at eper: 157 - Tessuto Grigio Scuro).

I've also the rear seats and all the door panels.

The seats were put to an internet platform for sale on 17. Sept. without a picture, I found them on 19. Sept., drove there and bought them on 20. Sept. I was fast enough...

Hi all!

Hi!

I found "TSW EVO" 7,5J x 16 ET 35 rims about 200km far from my home. I drove there, made some measurements, if they would fit with the brembo calipers, thought yes and finally bought them.

Next time (probably next year ) I'll test, if they really fit.

Oh yes! The "big nuts" will not stay blue, no no...

*fingers crossed they fit*

Thanks, Wrinx!

I'll see... but I think it will take some time as I'm very busy with my work at the moment.

Best regards, Martin
