Can you get a full spare tire for either the 2014 or 2015 RS7 placed in the back of the vehicle in the wheel well compartment? If so, what is the process?

the "compact" spare is the same diameter as a full size spare but it is much narrower which allows it to fit in the well. did not try a full size but i doubt it would fit.

There are several eBay sellers that are parting out A7's. Since not many people are buying spare tires, they might ask for less money than the dealer.
