Default Wheels

Hey all, am having a little trouble was wondering if someone could help me out, point me in the right direction... i purchased and installed a wilwood bbk, 13" rotors and 6 pot caliper.... i now need a a spare wheel to use as a spare tire since the regular spare wont clear the caliper.... i have no idea what offset wheel i need in order to clear caliper.... when i bought the kit, i measured my wheel according to the diagram wilwood has on its site, but i have no idea how this whole offset business works.... very confused.... if someone can let me know how its done thatd be great... the measurements from wilwood on here on the third page.. http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds546.pdf also where is the best place to buy just one wheel??? THanks in advance!!

Get a spare from a 370Z or G37 with the Akabono brakes. It fits, and i posted a thread about it.

I ordered mine through a junk yard. I live in IL. and they found 1 in VA. and 2 in Canada. I got the one from VA. it was $135 shipped. Make sure you get the 18", the 17" wont fit.

Does it have to be a donut? Look at the 370Z Sport donut. It fits a 14 inch rotor.
