[urq] AP Calipers

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Louis-Alain,

Those wheels are the stock ones for the Sport Quattro --who'd want to have
skinny wheels with those huge flared fenders?  Anyhow, I'll have to check
when I get home and look through my literature, but I tend to agree with
Sean that they used wheel spacers on the forged Fuchs wheels.
