Default Spare wheel for big brake kits

Hi All,

Has anyone use ISF 18 inches spare wheel as spare for your big brakes? Here is the link to the spare wheel from Sewell http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2013/2162.html. I have 18 inches wheels with Rotora 4 pots front brake and wondering if this ISF spare wheel would fit the GS400. Thank you for answering.

PS. I searched but could not find the answer.

Also may look into a Mustang Cobra spare. It clears the Cobras 13" brakes and has our pattern. Might be an easier find. Not sure on the backspacing though.

I have LS430 stock wheels and they clear my LS4 brakes with a lot of room to spare

Hey Geeznuts,

Did you refer to the ISF spare, or the mustang cobras.

Thanks RoMiLex. I will look into the Cobras

I don't think the 17" GS430 wheel will work on Rotora with 15 mm spacer. I will bite the bullet, purchase from Sewell. Hopefully it will work, because it will cost me $500. But the thought of getting strand out of nowhere scare me even more, and will cost me even more. Good luck to me. WIll let you all know how it turn out. If it need spacer then the problem is easy to fix.
