I purchased a set of 4 17" Fittipaldi Avus2 wheels with the 5x98 pattern
through Tire Rack earlier this year for my 164S. I had them mount
Bridgestone RE71s on them. The wheels arrived with no problem, but the
balancing had to be redone as it was off. Tire Rack sent me to one of their
local authorized installers, and reimbursed me for the rebalancing job. The
wheels fit perfectly, though you will have to remove the locator pin that
positions the OEM wheels.
