I have an L-Tuned 18" wheel in my spare well and it fits. It is 18 x 8 with 235/40 tires on them. Fits fine with no bulges.

I have an Oz Racing 18"x8" F1 Cup as my spare that I picked up from a fellow CL member with the AP Racing big brake kit. It clears my 14" Stoptechs just fine.

This is good info to find out, I had a blowout a few months back while several hours from home.. fortunately I did not have the brake kit installed at that point so I was able to fit the factory spare on until a new tire arrived(had to wait a couple days), no one seems to keep 20" tires in stock..

Bit, I'll have to open the trunk tonight to see what I can find. I'm checking back with the "source" to see what he can remember.

The OZ is a 35 offset but that particular wheel has been discontinued. And with tire it originally cost over $550, a rather expensive spare. You may just have to go to a wheel shop with decent inventory that will let you test mount rims to insure clearance.

I just happen to have an extra 255/35-20 Yokohama AVS Sport I got for the 'spare' 20x9 HRE 841R I am having made. I'll yank out the stock spare and see if the tire will fit in the well by itself. I think the diameter is okay, but I am not sure about the width (might raise the floor panel a bit?).
My plan: showcase the 20" spare under a plexiglas window in the floor (I might even edge-light it to make it glow a little bit). Should compliment the new Boston Acoustics amplifiers which are forthcoming... I LOVE audio!!
Jeff: let's talk about your need for a spare- I think I can help! E-mail me: bobh@hrewheels.com
