As u know, I recently installed akebonos on my car. I commute a great deal, so I need a spare tire solution. Here are some ideas I came up with so far:

-leave a spare 19" oem in the trunk. This idea doesn't appeal to me because of the wasted trunk space
-use the spare with a 25mm-30mm spacer. Not sure if this will work, I could be way off
-take a risk and have no spare

What do you guys do?

 

Get a spare from a car that had the Akebonos on it as oem equipment

 

extra sets of volks

 

i got a gt30 as my spare. lol

 

I have this same issue....I am about 99% sure that using a any size spacer won't work with the spare, it is a 17" rim and the calipers are pretty big. I am going to use an OEM 19" as soon as I can find someone selling one. It sucks that it takes up more space in the trunk.....but that is what you get for using our cars for daily use.

Maybe use run-flat tires? Should be able to make it to a tire shop....

use AAA or your insurance company's roadside assistance for when you're cruising around town. get an OEM coupe 19 or other spare tire for road trips. do not use a big spacer with the stock spare.
