I have run a stock Supra front wheel and now I use an 18x8.5 Enkei RPO1 with a 225/40/18. Yes a 225/40/18 will fit in the spare tire well.

Ok cause I have 10mm spacers in the front now and will probably order some 15 or 20mm spacers in the near future. Need that flush look.

I tried an SC430 stock wheel, and that didn't work.

I now have the Supra TT spare.

I have the TT spare, it sucks!! The full size lexus spare was better than the TT maypop. Now my trunk carpet sags in the middle because the tt rim is too thin and its bright yellow and ugly. I will probably try to find a regular full size TT front rim as a spare and get rid of this ugly POS.
