Exactly the same here on my '07 3GS AWD. I will be looking into replacement of my RFs since I got 24k already, and heard somewhere that in addition to GS you can also use IS spare. BTW, anyone knows dimensions of the 3GS spare wheel and the tire?

Sort of, Car-part.com has the spare tire from the 2006 - 2009 IS250 / IS350 as compatible, I found one for fifty bucks.

I fit it on the front wheel, it clears the caliper. But i've yet to use it.
