Default Spare over BBK...

mods, im sorry since im not too sure where to post this, since it may be considered a "general" question, but i need it answered for my GS (so if it could stay here a little bit i would greatly appreciate it)... since i have upgraded to BBK up front, my stock 16" spare tire wont cut it up there any more. i NEED a spare tire and BAD. im not tryin to spend a ton of money, but something moderate. if anyone has any suggestions, it would be GREATLY appreciated

Lots of threads out there with good suggestions on exactly the same subject!

Would be helpful to know what big brakes you have (don't recall off top of my head) since that makes a difference on what members might suggest

If its a supra or RMM big brake, look for a Supra spare or Supra TT front wheel in classifieds like these (both sold, but you get the idea)

Since I moved from the Supra big brakes to Brembos that are 355mm (Supra wheel won't work) I ended up getting an inexpensive wheel from tire rack with the appropriate clearance
