I consulted with Brandon from the tire rack on getting one that was the right offset & would clear + included the different lug nuts you'd need if you used it.
Beyond the obvious brake clearance, I looked for 1) cheap (it is a spare afterall) and 2) light (don't want a 45 lb wheel back there) 3) overall size would fit in my spare tire well.
He recommended the 18" SE Fox 5 at $165 and a lightweight performance tire to go with it.
I really wanted to dump an extra $300 and get a single SSR competition wheel since they're so light, but I just couldn't justify that cost for 8-9 lbs and a wheel I hopefully will never use.
Recommend you give him a shout once you decide what brakes you're going with.

Ahhh thanks guys for the different choices ! Yeah I wouldn't want a wheel that weighs like 45 pounds because my rims right now are heavy enough
. My RMM brakes looks small behind my lsportlines or maybe I see more people getting 14 inchers on here
