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

You can piece your own kit together.

These are the EXACT bolt pattern, but guys run wheels with this bolt pattern all the time.

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.
