Default Spare Tire for BBK
Other than the Supra TT spare, what other spares out there might be able to clear cars with a Supra TT BBK?

The only ones that I can think of right now is the G35 / 350Z, since their regular wheels can clear our brakes. Any others?

buy a spacer that would let your normal spare work.

when your front tire goes flat you can put your stock spare on back and move that back wheel to the front.

i believe the LS brakes are bigger (in size not pistons)....so im guessing any wheel that would fit on a n LS would clear the TT brakes....

so what if you have staggered fitment on your car? if you need to get home there is no problem putting a rear wheel on the front and spare on the rear.

you have to do what you have to do.

get an ls400 wheel or spare and call it a day.

when i put on my Rp03's i put my TT front wheel as a spare.

Reviving an old thread. Would a 10mm front and 15mm spacer clear it?
