can you post the actual specs? thanks. Where did you get the info?

please don't say the dealer or the 2002 TT brochure. Those two places are filled with misinformation.

visual proof:

Had some rims custom spec'd to the 2001 225Q. Went to the tire place last week to get these rims installed and the friggin rim was hitting the caliper. Turns out that the manufacturer as was I was stunned. Today I went to the manufacturer and he could tell right off the bat that the rear brake calipers are larger and so he has to re-manufacture the entire rear set of rims. He then took my rims and placed them on a 2001 225Q in the shop and sure enough they fit without incident.
