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

[Brandon Rogers]

Do both of your cars have sunroofs? - the sunroof cars have a small
bracket on the underside of the top of the trunk that will take away
some crucial space for something like this

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.
