Thread: Need a bigger spare for bigger brakes.

Wondering what to get for a bigger spare now that I have bigger brakes.
Had s tire blow out and couldn't get the spare on.

You gotta move a good tire from the rear to where the bad tire was, and put the spare where the good tire was.

unless you have huge rear brakes, no you dont. you never put the spare on the drive wheel. ever. unless you have a awd gtp?

Yea I know about moving it to the rear. The spare doesn't fit on the rear.

I have rear gxp brakes. I'll try looking for a bonneville gxp spare. Might be a tough find. Lol

Being a front wheel drive... Wouldn't one not want to put a spare on the front anyways?

I have a spare tire that's fits over my gxp breaks and all. I don't want it if u do. The tire has never seen pavement before

The Bonneville GXP spare is a 17x4, and will clear anything any setup that is 13" rotors or less

I don't think the Impalas or Montes will work because they all use a 16x4 which will not clear the 13" rotors and GXP calipers. Need to use either of the 17x4s from the GXP Bonnies or GPs.

If you were running F-Body upgrade wheels, and stock rears you could use the 16x4 spares, but the GXP options require the 17s.

I sent a PM hopefully he still has it for sale.
