I know the spare wheel on a CV8 will not fit over the front disks when replaced with AP's
But what about the rears??

I suspect neither. AP rear is bigger than std VXR front.

sure I've seen it mentioned the spare still fits over the rear - does mean moving wheels though if its a front that bursts. cv8 spares are useful to have, got a couple myself but they don't fit the spare wheel well in the boot so you'd need to rig up something to stop it sliding around your boot.

Smiler.

Nope, unless Wilwoods are bigger that AP's.

Hmm, thats sad. I guess my HSV R8 is nice to me fitting a full size spare in as well as a spare 1 ltr of oil as well.

Spare does NOT fit over the rear with AP's fitted, as I found out to my cost when I had a flat.

Would be interested in a full size 18" fi one has one going!
