RS Wheels Question
Have a set of the ( I think they are called n45 option ) 16" 5 spoke wheels off 92 RS. I noticed that the rear ones have a different offset ( didn't know when I bought them) and assume it's to allow for the rear disk brakes that came with that option package. No. 1, will they fit my car as I have drums on the rear and no.2 will they set to far inside the fenderweel. If so is there spacers thick enough to allow for this with longer wheel studs?

Re: RS Wheels Question
Just make sure the rears are on the rear, and the fronts are on the fronts - if you put the rears on the fronts, they rub the tie rod ends. They are marked "front" and "rear" on the inside of the wheel.

Re: RS Wheels Question
IIRC, all 16's, 85+, are marked front and rear (because of the off-set). I suspect the OP is aware.
