final message of this thread:

I found a parts supplier that had a '04 Camry donut temporary spare (exact match to 18" SC430 wheels).
Eagle Auto and Truck Works (Phoenix, AZ)
800-839-0965
www.eagleautoaz.com

With tax and shipping: $106.23
Bought it and got it days later, in perfect condition. Very quick and reliable transaction.

Now, when tripping to Phoenix and beyond, I throw it into the existing spare tire well in the trunk and that's piece of mind.

Over and out. jimmer

Do you know if that Camry spare will fit over some of the bigger brake kits some people have on their SC 430s? I know someone posted saying the TT spare everyone was talking about a little while ago did not fit over the bigger brakes he had on his car.

you could very well be right.
the TT and Camry spares will fit the standard 430 set-up, but once tinkered with, it's up for grabs and should be investigated before purchasing.

On the new wheels!!!!!
As for the spares....Be sure it will fit on the front and allow the wheels to turn. The Bolt pattern will fit on it with no problem.....It is the turning of the wheels where you may have a problem..
On Fix a flat! That stuff is nasty and if you ever use it...You best let the tire installer know ahead of him breaking down your wheel. He will get doused with crap from it. He will also be real pissed!!!! If not warned that is.
I still believe the solution that I posted is perfect and if the top is up, there is plenty of room for your Golf bag!
