+1 - I'll buy one!
I'll run into the same problem once I get mine in.. and it'll be compounded by the fact I'm doing a false floor sub/amp setup that'll be where the current spare is.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to find a set of four OEM that fit these brakes and divide them up, one spare for each?... shipping to four location might be a b!tch.
Are there 3 others interested in So Cal?

what BBK do you have? 'cause I'm pretty sure 18s dont clear the Ake's (not positive though)
Anyway - I need to find 3 other ppl that need spare that clears - finding a used set of OEMs that clear is going to be much easier than finding one wheel...

I still have my 17" stockers... I guess I could use one of those since I have 20mm spacers - that should clear... but I wonder how 17 will do with 19?... should be okay since the donut is like 15" right? and its designed for use with 17 & 18... the suspension is gonna wonder wtf I'm doing

That would be one crazy pic! An OEM donut spare with Akebono BBK! I know what I'm doing this weekend now
Mike i have AP racing bbk, 14.25"front, 13" rear. They are the thickest ones I've come across so far. I needed 1.5" of pad height to clear them. From my knowledge Akebonos only require about an inch, i think slightly less!!!
interesting... and 18" clear for you... for some reason I thought ppl were saying they didn't clear the Ake's... but if they do that opens options...
