BINGO, I was thinking exactly that. Just add AAA and go with that.

flatbed? how can you even get on it?

my car can't even get on the flatbed without a lot of 2x4

I just went ahead and ordered another 18" volk. Fits almost perfect in the spare wheel hole.

I have never had experience with AAA, but how long is the wait if you call them up? I think i would rather buy an 18" spare than have to wait the 30 min or longer wait for AAA to come. Plus, like Rominl said, i couldn't even get up the flatbed.

You can try getting a Supra turbo spare tire...that should fit over just about any BBK you might purchase...

Are you talking about the 17s Jon? If so, those won't fit the 14" and above rotors.

Henry; you're right, this would be a challenge... especially given how low our cars are.
The answer is: six bolts and my Explosion front bumper is off. Takes me less than five minutes.

You hit it right on the nose. the one time it happen to me I had my wife bring me a spare to where I was which was local and I swapped it out. But just incase I ever am so far away that I need to have it flatbedded I always keep the 10mm and extension handy in the trunk to take off the front bumper right off.

Triple A told me that they do not cover lowered cars of cars with kits ie bumpers etc. I got it done but I had to pay a tow truck company.

actually no. like neo said, most 14" kits (which most of the kits in the market are) require at least 18" wheel to clear

and the supra tt spare? it didn't clear my ap racing (13.5"), at least not with the enough clearance

you got it bob, that was the only solution i could think of as well. though i have a question. i am not sure how low your rear bumper is, but when you go up the flatbed, would the rear bumper or so hit? mine surely does. even on a steeper driving i not only have to be careful with the front bumper, i have to be careful with the rear as well
