[urq] AP Calipers

[John Koenig]

The parts information that I've seen shows 7x15 Fuchs with 45mm offset for
quattro and with 20mm offset for sport quattro ("winter"), which would tend
to look about 1" "deeper."  These are only the road car variations, of
course, and I don't know anything about the use of spacers.
