| Have cracked an alloy on my wrx so took it to the garage yesterday to get repaired,when trying to put my spare on it would not clear the brakes! I have brembo's on my car so guess the spare is for the orig callipers, is there different sizes for the spare wheel? Does anyone have one for sale? Cheers | |

| As far as I know there is a bigger space saver but I don't think they'll cover brembos... I think they're for 4 pots?
Correct me if I'm wrong lol | |

| Had to use the space saver that's in my Hawk Sti when my alloy was cracked and it fitted on the front and cleared my Brembo's no problem. So they must come in different sizes.  | |

| You need an STI space saver Daz, or as Dave says carry a can of tyre weld, almost all new cars don't even have spares or space savers anymore. You get a bottle of slime and a inflator, not much good if you clobber a curb in the snow though. | |
