RX8 Spare fitted

Just wanted to show you how much clearance you get with an RX8 spare (17x4) for those who have big-brake kits (BBK).

It fits perfectly, and there's room for 13" diameter rotor, and very wide calipers (I'm using Pettit/Outlaws).

Hope it helps.

Looks like there is a spacer in there as well. About a 5mm one. Is this the case or is it flush?

No spacer.

I'm running the Pettit/Outlaw BBK. I think what you're seeing is the aluminum rotor-hat.
