[urq] Compact Spare Won't Fit Over A4 Front Brakes

[brozmotorz]

hi

you got me puzzled ! I'd like to see how the wheel fits in your trunk.
my full size spare is also a stock 15" with stock size tire and no matter
what direction I'd try to put it inside, the trunk would not close...but I
have a 70l tank so maybe with the 90l, it would fit ? they are not shaped
the same...
as the spare location trunk floor is actually one big HOLE, I was thinking
maybe rebuilding it with a recess...but not sure I could get the wheel down 
there.
A4 brakes do fit under the Ronals but it is close (maybe 4mm), with the
ultra thin PLS, it is about 10mm.
