Default spare wheel/tire to fit over bbk

What is the best/cheapest wheel for a spare tire that will fit over my stoptech bbk? Doesnt matter what the finish is because it would only be on temporary anyway

Thanks Ed and Henry. I looked on ebay and the average price I could find was $200 or so per rim. It didnt include tires, and I am going to buy 2 because I plan on having my wheels refinished and need something to drive on while that is being done. Any ideas if they are available for less than that?

your best bet is to find four used set and sell two to your buddies. should be about 600.00 or less for a set of four.

I was thinking about doing that, using them while I had my wheels refinished, and then selling all but one individually. I would probably have a good chance of getting a good bit of my money back. Great idea

any rotors larger than 13.5" will require at leat 17" wheel to clear in terms of diameter

14", get 18s

350z touring wheels will pretty much clear 99% of the 14" BBK kits out there. unfortunately they are a bit on the heavier side.

maybe a dumb question, but would the G35 wheel fit in our 2nd gen GS spare tire well?
