Spare Temporary Wheel & Tire for BBK

[la_fx35]

Since my 15" rotor with 6-pot caliper BBK setup installed, the stock spare wheel & tire no longer fit. Thanks to Jonas, I've tried out his FX50S spare wheel & tire, I was hoping that it would clear my BBK since the FX50S comes with BBK. Well, it did not clear my BBK setup neither. The hunt for a spare tire setup was on until last week that I found out the Rang Rover Sport equiped with compact space saver 19" spare. I know 18" spare of the FX50S was a tight tight fit. Given that info, I'm pretty sure a 19" spare will clear my BBK, but by how much still a question. So I took a $250 gamble and it came through. I now have a spare that I can use when needed.

The Range Rover hub 72.56 and bolt pattern 5x120 works out to my benefit since I already running spacer with that specs for my iForge wheel. The spare goes for around $250 - $300.

For those that need a spare to fit over their 15" BBK, you will need to buy a wheel spacer to convert the Infiniti hub and bolt pattern (66.1, 5x114.3) to Ranger Rover hub and bolt pattern (72.56, 5x120).

This will also work for 2nd Gen.

So does that fit in the spare tire well?

Yes, it fit into the spare tire well. Forgot to include that picture. Its there now.

Good thing you don't have the factory sub.

I'm sure the factory sub still works but might need some foam or a towel to keep it from wobbling since the wheel is an inch bigger all around. And since I don't have the factory sub I have mount the wheel outside up so that the mounting bolt can secure it to to the trunk floor.
