I have read the factory spare (available on the v6 models) will NOT fit on any wheels equipped with Brembos.

If it has the spacer it will fit. That's why it has the spacer.

Don't know if you're aware of this thread. Discusses spacers and different solutions members have employed in ensuring they have an appropriate spare available.

I just received my Spare Tire Kit from Performance Spare which comes with space saver spare, jack, spacer, lug wrench with sockets all for $299 plus shipping. Very fast shipping. I mounted the spare on the front and rear just to check it out and there were no problems. Every other place I checked wanted over $400, I highly recommend them!

Does the tire in this kit have a "55 MPH Max" warning on it ? Just curious.

What's the diameter of this spare? You know if it's a inch smaller than your rear tire diameter.
You will screw up the rear end diff..if used on the rear..of a SS..

best solution for this is to place one of the fronts on the rear and place the spare on the front.
