I just carry around cans of fix a flat and my AAA card But you may want to see if you can find someone selling a OEM 19", even if its curbed a little if its just a spare who cares

There's no way that I'd put fix a flat in our tires. I can't imagine that it'd be too good for the TPMS sensors...

See if you can somehow find a spare tire from a G37S or a GTR.

In that case I'd rather wait for AAA, because My amp is down in the spare tire well. lol

I use oem G35 coupe 19's for spares. They clear my 15" 12-pot kit but we have to put the weights on the spokes because the barrel is so close to the caliper we can't even put weights in there!

They are very lightweight but I dunno of anyone local that has em. The trick is finding someone willing to sell just 1 instead of all 4.

I think it sticks out a bit. Tim can elaborate more, all I know is If I had one in mine I cant keep my sub or I'd need a new box lol.

Just went to Tortilla Flats this weekend and already have next weekend plans, hopeful to catch one of the future trips though. Count me out.

I sold one of four of my 06 350z 18" wheels recently, maybe they clear the BBK you have BlackRain? I could sell one wheel/tire, I just want a few spares to hang onto.

Yeah, they are 1pc forged and made by Rays. You can't get much lighter in 19's

I have 245/40/19's on mine and they did stick up a bit when I had a spare tire well (now it is home to my fuel evap box, fuel surge tank, Bosch race pump and amps). If you went with a front wheel (19x8) and 225/40 or so it should fit or at least not stick up much. If your car came with the full size spare and spacers for each side it would fit.
