Well, lessee. Their ugly, heavy and the wrong offset. As I recall, the backset is larger than than the Fuch's 5 in( or so). If you're runnin' spacers now, you'll need bigger ones to fill the fenders.....3 in lip you say? Hummm...Check the backset.....5 in or less is gud.
Other than the above, runnin' the same size tiars is gud for an AXer....even if they are ugly & black & cheep.
