Mk1 Wheel fitment question

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

The wheel size is good although 6" is a little slim these days. ET is close 
enough or almost perfect.
195/55 are going to be a little tall, but with factory springs you'll be 
good.
Probably even clear when lowered now that I think about some cars I've 
worked on. Still 195/50 is the "correct" size once you wear these out should 
you decide to buy.
