I thought I would pass this along.
I am running 323X30 rotors with 996 calipers. In the rear UrS6 calipers on A8 carriers, with 280X22 rotor. Running a spare is a concern, as the coupe came with 4X108 and I am now running 5X112.
So first I picked up the same size 16" spare as the coupe originally had, but in 5X112. Don't remember off what car, as it was 7 years ago.
This would only fit with a spacer. Don't remember the size, as I have moved on, but I had to buy spacers and longer bolts. This was not a problem when I was running the S4 Avus wheels, as I had to use spacers with them. It would only work in the rear, never in the front.
So I got this spare. It is out of an 1995 UrS6, and it is a 17 inch spare. Tire size is T125/80R17. Wheel size is 400BX17HR ET 35. Part number is 441-601-025L.
t fits fine in both the front and the rear. Clears the 996 calipers without a problem.
Now the only problem left was, would it fit in the coupe spare tire well.
Sits a little higher of course, but the cover fits, the rear shelf fits, and the hatch closes. Works for me.
