Default Small detail about Brembos...

Small detail about Brembos...

In the specs PDF, it says the steel donut tire is different for the Track model (Brembo equipped). Obviously this has to do with clearance issues for the huge brakes.

I never use spares (dont like extra weight, and I have AAA), but those of you looking to add the brembos to your non-track might want to think about adding this spare also.

3 problems with that (although it would be nice):
-eliminates most of the room in the hatch area (ie no trunk at all)
-adds weight (rim and tire)
-which size ?(F/R are different)

Some things to think about.

I see what you mean about the different size rims, As far as room goes you are also right and might be difficult to get out with that damn strut brace. Also weight (+20 lbs more).

These are all good reasons, I was kind of joking because the price would be too much.

It would be the size of the front rim. Always is. My mothers 5 series with M package (not available in the States) has staggered M rims and the spare is the front rim size.
