[urq] Looking for hub suggestions

I know, late reply.  Not much time these days...

That was my thought process.  However, the rear hubs on a 90q are
different enough from the Urq hubs that they do not work.  The urq
hubs go too far and bind against the knuckle.

After doing a lot searching, my last hope seems to be the rear hub
from a '98-ish A6 quattro sedan or a '98-ish Passat Syncro.  Both of
those have 75mm rear wheel bearings with larger offsets than the
A4.  I am hoping one of those will fit the Urq rear, and perhaps
the neuS4 rear vented brakes will match the offset.  It would be a
little narrower than the factory Urq, but that would give me more
clearance for 17x8" ET35 rear wheels anyway.

So, if anyone has pictures or is willing to let me borrow/buy
such rear hubs, please let me know.

I took some pictures with a digital camera, I'll try to get them up
on my web page.  You will be able to see the Urq hub versus the
90q hub.

I am currently using the cast A-arms in the front along with the
ball joints, two-piece struts, and sway bar that links to the upper
strut.  Tie rods are Coupe GT/4K/80/90.  The only real difference is
the hub, which is an S2 Avant rear for 82mm wheel bearings.
