spare tire?
Anyone throw a spare tire in the trunk for long road trips? If so what size rim did you have to use? I tried to put a 16" tire on and it wouldn't clear the brakes. All that money for the car and the trunk has a battery and air compressor

These are the EXACT bolt pattern, but guys run wheels with this bolt pattern all the time.
http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...el-spacers.htm Or you can have some custom made.

The Phastek Performance site show currently unavailable, also they look like they are only 1''. I have the roller skates brakes so need wider. Trying to put a spare tire kit together. E-mailed the address that posted for Joey the guy that use to sell spare tire kits, but haven't received any e mails back.

In case anyone wants to run a front wheel/tire as a spare, I have two far sale at a great price. Since it is the same size as stock, you can run it up front or in the back.
