Yeap, Yeap ... like the OP said Breaks are TOOOO big , Can't change the Tire by yourself... And like someone else said you'll need a have 3' torque wrench too...

That's all nonsense. The problem with the spare doughnut is you'll need to use a spacer and have some press the breaks so you can tighten it down and one other thing is the wheel diameter is not the same and you don't want to damage your rearend so if you have a flat on a rear tire you'll have to move one of your front tires to the rear and put the doughnut on the front. What I did was remove the cover in trunk to the tire and strap in a full spare.. it don't fit all the way down but far enough to still have some trunk space. That and a $15 sissor jack you won't be on the side of a road some nite waiting for help and a tow!!!... Also if you get a blow out they might not have your tire in stock and need to wait a day or so...not good. There are many folks selling stock rims here... get a front rim and carry a spare .. if you ever need it you'll be glad you did.
