I am looking at some 19" 5x112 et 45 BBS LM alloys for my 1985 T3.
They are staggered 8.5 fronts and 9.5 on the rears.

My concern is with the sliding door fowling the rears. I know there is a mod on the door hinge to create more clearance however I believe that as mine is a 85 it is a late hinge therefore a right pain to extend. Early hinges are a pop.
So anybody know if 9.5 rears would be OK?
