Just had puncture on the rear of my ute, my spare is only a steel 16" wheel and doesn't fit over my willwood calipers. Warning for you guy's running with APs, Does spare wheel still fit

Glad this was brought up. Having AP's fitted next week and just fitted 19's. Looks like I wont be selling my 18" wheels as a complete set of 4 now as it looks as though my 05 boot is going to have even less room with the boot floor perched on a 'new' enlarged, non skinny spare!

The trick is to put the spare on the rear and then move the rear wheel to the front

I had the flat on the rear and the spare did not fit - and the rear's are smaller than the front (AP's).

Oops, only works on 19" (VXR) - sorry!
