    Default one thing nobody said about factory sport brake upgrades...

    so yeah, I upgraded my '01 with the factory sport brakes... I never even thought of the spare tire(did you?).

    the factory spare on my '01 is(was) a 14 inch wheel... I had a PS rear blow-out on my way to Propwash( thanks to my pit crew, it was changed in 2 minutes!) later, we decided to mount the donut on the front and it didn't fit!

    when you do sport brakes, get the 15 inch donut!

    Just don't run over shit!

    BTW, if you need a 15" tire to get you by until you replace your broken one, I've got a 225/45 RS2 that's on death's door. It needs to leave my garage posthaste.
