Default Spare wheel to clear Supra TT brakes

Okay so my 16in spare won't clear the Supra TT brakes on the front, what is everyone else running?

Is there a Supra spare that fits in the spare wheel well?

Matt.

I am using an Enkei RPO1 18x8.5 with a 225/40/18 and it fits in the spare tire well.

Stock supra front wheels with at least a 235/45 will fit also. To me it is more reassuring to have a full sized spare as opposed to a donut.

Any IS350/250... GS430/350. I have LS430 big brakes in the front and my spare is GS430 rim. Instead of 245/45/18 i'm running a 225/40/18. It fits in the spare wheel area but its a bit taller than the donut. if you need pics PM me.

I use the Supra TT mini-spare. Very compact.

The Supra TT standard wheel will work, as should any LS400 wheel.
