Talking Wrong Spare???

Got a flat on the freeway the other day and when I went to change to the spare it was the wrong bolt pattern.

Anyways, what type of cheap steel wheel will fit the 94 Ls400???
Toyota; Camry? or?

Thanks All!

lmfao, all LS' came with full sized alloy spares as far as i know, best bet is hitting a local wheel shop, anything that is a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (some camry/solara/celica are 5x100).

iirc any 5bolt nissan will work

Full size spare means nothing when you have one of those silly lug not keys and it breaks because the last shop overtorqued your nuts.

And then it turns out your impact gun is broken

That was a long day :'(

I agree with the just about any nissan wheel should work theory.

similar thing happened to me.

i MADE the wheel shop pay for towing and removal along with fixing my flat and a new set of lugs (i bought my own locks later on).
