17' Volans fitted to my 145 140-160

Hello all,
This is an update on my wheel and tire change over project. I have always wanted to mount a set of the Volans from an early 850 T5-R on my 71 145. Well a good friend of mine found 2 at the PDX swap meet this last weekend for $10 ea!!! So I was at his house this evening and we test fitted the rim only. They bolt right up and as far as I can tell all I will need to do is adjust the steering stop to prevent the tires from rubbing on the sway bar. I am willing to sacrifice some turnning circle for this sweet look. The 3mm difference in offset is not a problem on the front anyway, I can't imagine the rear will be a problem. I will post some pics when it is complete.
