[urq] AP Calipers

[Brandon Rogers]

Yeah it is my understanding (no facts here!) that Audi had all sorts of
Fuchs built for different rally conditions.  Somebody told me they even had
15x4 for the ice stuff - and based on some pics I've seen with some really,
really skinny studded snow - I believe it....

There are pictures of the rally cars that clearly show fuchs with deeper
dish rims.
While they may or may not be the sport quattro optional wheels it was
definitely
more than just spacers.

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.
