Akebonos and Spare Wheel!

What do you guys have for spare tire? As of right now I don't have a spare tire because the OEM one doesn't fit over the AKEBONOS. I do have two full spare wheels but they don't fit where the OEM donut goes.
input!!

DO NOT BUY IT FROM THE DEALERS!!! They want for the rim only 400+ dollars. I think when i got a quote from one of the dealers it was 600+. Your going to need a G37 sport donut. Call the junk yards. that is where i got mine for about 175.

That's what i was thinking. The dealer is gonna try to stick it in my butt! I've been driving without spare since I got wheels but you never know. And having a full spare in the trunk would look out of place and it would take the whole trunk space. Our trunks are not meant for dead bodies. They don't fit!! lol

If you're near Sunland, I was at the KC Nissan yard today and they had several G37's laying around with a godawful amount of rims/tires stacked up. Give them a ring, Armen is the guy there?

I bought my G37 spare donut from some junkyard in Arizona for $160 shipped. Found it through www.car-part.com

Prior to finding one, i just brought one full-sized wheel (the OEM rears) and some V2-type spacers with me all the time.

The spare? Yes, just make sure you get the G37S spare. It fits on the car, over the brakes and in the spare cavity in the trunk.

as long as it's a 18' G37s spare it will fit. I already did the test fit on my car before i bought it.

I think I was reading Mike write up and he mention that you need a 20mm to fit the OEM donut! Am I right mike?!
