If you get a flat and you have a set of BBK, you are **** out of luck right, considering that the spare won't fit...True?

TLW

yes

thats why you get a spare capable of clearing the BBK

yup, everyone who got bbk and never thought about their spare i say that's not a full mod yet

You can always keep a spacer. I had a 17" OEM spare with a 10mm spacer.

In some cases, you will need an 18" spare. In the case of another new member, probably a 19" spare . Either that or rely exclusively on roadside service and towing.

just wait and see how many flat bed they have to get before they can put your car on there (if your car is lowered with body kits)

personally although i have them, i avoid them as much as i can

I found out the hardway that triple A wont cover you if the car is lowered or has any type of body kit or lip on it.

So, true! I would hate to leave my car on the side of the road for everyone to have at it, especially if you threw down like over 15Ks worth of Mods.

oh really? that's pretty bad, and i got aaa, darn, what for?! @_@

That's not really a stupid question. It depends on the spare and the size of the spare. Some people will just carry the spare an a large spacer like posted above. If it's a 2 wheel kit and the wheels that you are running aren't staggered, then you can essentially put the spare on the rear and move that rear wheels to the front. If you have a stoptech kit or are interested in one, just check out the wheel fitment templates.

I got an 18" L-Tuned rim which clears (just) the StopTech 14" front BBK.

That's great information. If anyone has that information please feel free to submit it with a picture. You can email me, Howard@stoptech.com We are trying to build a database that say which wheels fit what kits. If you submit a picture, I might be able to get it onto the website.

The bad thing about this rim is that it is no longer available. I used to have these rims but I did keep one as my spare. Besides, Matt should know since he installed the brakes on my car while I had these rims.

You're welcome. I don't have a pic of the spare on the car but now Neo's posted one.

Another FYI - the Supra compact spare does NOT fit over the brakes (been there, done that).
