You might be able to find an extra spare from your local dealership. It's just a crazy yellow donut like in the pic below. I don't know much more about it, sorry man

hmm you got front and rear rotora right? i would of suggested that if you got a flat in the front you put one of the rear aftermarket wheels on the front and put your spare or stockie in the rear but i think you have a front/rear BBK so idk if that would clear...

The IS-F brakes are not "thicker," but they are taller. The OEM IS350 spare will not clear the IS-F brakes (or in Dante's case, his Rotoras). Dante - I'll be test fitting some brakes later in the week - I'll see if I can borrow an IS-F spare and see if it'll work.

Or just carry nothing... Lexus roadside or AAA and you will not stay stranded too long... That's how I rolled in my GS and never regretted it...
