Default Any spare that can go over 14" brakes!?

I have a Supra compact spare but it doesn't go over my new front 14" StopTech brakes. Do I need to order another high disc big rim? Not thrilled about ordering another HRE - lots of money for a spare!

Paul if I end up coming down to ATL I'll throw my full size supra TT wheel in the trunk so you can see if that'll fit. If it does it might be your cheapest alternative to find a used one.. plus it fits in the spare tire spot in the trunk.

Second option is just to get a cheap super high disk 17 or 18" wheel (as light as possible) for your spare.

I ended up buying QBranchCars spare, a high-disk 18" OZ wheel. An expensive spare but better than not having one. I may end up purchasing another Volk LE37K and selling the OZ, but that's an even more expensive spare.

Because of the 14" rotors, you'll need at least an 18" wheel. Since StopTechs can clear some normal disc wheels, you may not need high disc. It would be the safest bet to get high-disc though. Never ends does it, Bit?
