I bought this off Ebay. Not sure if the vendor is still putting the package together. One word of caution. My spare is 25" tall. The 1LE tires are 27". If you buy a spare check with the vendor on the height of the spare inflated and get as close to 27" as you can. I will not put the 25" spare on the rear of my 1LE due to possible diff damage. I think the front 1LE wheel/tire will go on back, but I have not tried it yet. My goal is to buy a taller tire for my setup. Right now locally I just use the tire inflator kit and I keep a tire patch kit in the car. On longer trips I will use the spare. Don't want those pounds in the car at the track!

The vendor I worked with on the spare was Randy Maddox (performancespare@gmail.com) http://shop.performancespare.com/. I recommend him and he is helpful. He was willing to swap me out a taller tire setup, but the shipping was probably more than the tire. Once I get around to the spare topic I will post here.

Thanks for that valuable Information and the things to watch out for.
