Default AP 6p/4p BBK Question

I have never seen this question asked before nor can I can the answer by searching, but those of you with the AP Racing 6 pistion fronts and 4 piston rear BBK can you still use the spare tire? I'm ready to buy the kit to compliment the NISMO wheels but I reallly need this question answered. Thanks

Had a feeling it would not. I can't stand the thought of needing AAA to come save me in the middle of no where TX with no cell phone coverage.

What about the 4 piston front and rear? It will be a minor loss in braking performance, but I'm willing to sacrafice if it will work. The Brembos clear so would the AP's 4 piston kit should work with spare as well?

I'm guestimating a 17" would clear the 13" rears but you'll need a good offset too. I needed 15mm spacers for my Ace Trends 19x9.5

I used to sling tires in HS, have you ever seen what that crap does to the inside of tires? It is a good idea though

OK let us end this, will the 6 piston calipers clear the 18" LMGT4s? If so, the problem is settled, I get fade resistance, lose some weight (spare tire) and the not so important bling factor.
