With the LSD, it is better to have a full size on the front anyway... (or both front wheels/tires the same)
I wonder how much difference is too much? Here's a real world example:

Let's say you have two rear tires, same wheels, same tire, but one has been in use for 10k miles and the other 15k. (Due to a flat 10k miles ago that forced you to toss one)

That's ok for the rear, but when it comes time to rotate the tires is that ok for the front?

Don't know!

I'll try to keep them as similar as possible. When you rotate tires, you shouldn't get an old front and an old rear on the fronts. Should get the two rears on front and two fronts on rear anyway!

Interesting. I forgot about the brake calipers. I went ahead and got the a spec wheel kit. 06421-3S5-A10. Just got it and it comes with Jack/spare/foam topper that will allow the spare to fit. You would just have to fit the spare in the back and roll a tire up front if you have a blowout for one of the front wheels.

where did you order the spare tire kit from? it is for the A spec right?
I know it will only fit the rear, but for now, I think it is the best solution, beats not carrying any spare

ok, ill go back.
Precision: on this thread, you'll find my solution, and a link to another thread which another solution is provided by another forum member. These 2 options are for a smaller spare tire.

There are other solutions: full size spare, or the modern spare. Both these option will take more room in the trunk.

Hope you find something that meets your needs and that'll make you happy!

Should be 94. Normally torque should be the same for the same thread/material. Since both are 14x1.5, and the studs are obviously the same...

This post has turned into an 8-page story, I am finally ready to buy a spare, hoping we have found some solution.
Can someone please summarize for me the options as they stand now?

I know some will only fit the rear, like the 17" eBay tire, I'm good with that as long as it fits in the car and doesn't change my rear matt height and stuff, also open to other ideas, I want something I can put where the spare should be and forget about it unless I happen to need it one day.

I don't mind having to swap a rear tire to the front and using my spare on the rear only if it fits in the back properly.
Appreciate the help with this.

If you read through the thread it boils down to two solutions. In short one offers the closest OEM replacement with little hassle, but on the negative side your spare cover won't sit quite flush. You'll have a slight gap, but barely noticeable with the all weather mat installed.

Option 2 wheel will allow the cover to sit flush but you'll need some slight modifications to adapt the wheel. Nothing crazy and you can probably do it yourself.

For greater detail go through the thread. I ended up buying both spare options to try them myself along with new tires for both. If you end up deciding on one DM me and I can give you a good deal. I'm honestly ok with keeping either one.

Good luck

Lol, my man doesn't waste no time.
Dm with an address and ill and I'll send you a quote including shipping. I have the wheel, the bolts you'll need and like I said, a brand new tire to go with it.
