A4Q Rear Tire Clearance

[dan_masi@MENTORG.COM (Dan Masi)]

Just wondering if this is true for all quattros,
or if it's A4Q-only.

I was looking at my rear wheels, and noticed that
a suspension link comes upward from behind the tire,
bends up over the tire, then continues upward and
outward.  There is *very* little clearance between
this link and the tire... I couldn't get a finger
between them.

So, if you've got an A4Q and you're thinking about
going to wider or taller tires, it would seem that
you'd have to be pretty careful in your measuring.

PS: my baby is at the shop today, first service
 (7500 miles).  They gave me a loaner car... a
 '96 A6!  OK, so it's not a quattro... still,
  not bad for a loaner!
