STi spare fits over front Brembos

ToddStratton · 08-09-2003, 03:46 PM

I was rotating my tires today and figured I'd see if the spare tire fit over the front Brembos...it does! With about as much clearance as the stock wheels! Earlier it was mentioned here that you would have to swap a rear BBS wheel to the front if the front went flat.

Good to know. Thanks for thinking of that.

I wonder how many people are taking out their spare for weight saving purposes?

Thanks, for clearing that up.

I'm going to run four spares during the winter.

I took my spare, jack & jack crank handle out. Drops 42 lbs.

My spare is my Cell.

I wish I could say my cell phone was my spare, but because I've got a wonderful moto t-720 I get like 8 hours of battery life per charge.
