Doesn anyone on here have a spare other than what came with the car? Im looking to get a spare to match my wheels, but it has to be at least an 18" rim to fit over the big brake kit.

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.

ya but would that wheel clear a brake kit? thats the bad part of big brake kits

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.

That's really good info! My Supra compact spare does NOT fit over my StopTech 14's. Do you know the offset of that rim you have? Do you know where I might get another one?

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
