Spare Tire solution for Brembo Pack GT's

[UWISHU1]

Got a spare tire for my Brembo Pack GT, couldn't risk driving down to Florida with out one.
19x9.5 SVE Drift 275/35R19 Nitto

BEFORE

AFTER

18X8 5-100/114 35FBR DRAG DR34
P225/50R18 94T GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2

FIT great on the car no clearance issues, wheel well wasn't as bad as i thought, takes a little creativity to make it look neat but all in all came out good.

Nice spare. But you're gonna drive that thing to fla?? Wow. Should be a fun ride.

Damn good idea. I'd be happy with just a regular spare and swapping back to front if I had to. Your solution is much better though.

Great solution. It looks factory in there too. I will be buying this before I take my road trip.

Thanks it's a good piece of mind when out on the road. :-D

I need to do this soon. I've made two trips from FL to NY and back without a spare. I've been lucky.

Good stuff - would you mind sharing where you got the stock scissor jack and stuff?

The scissor jacked I picked up free from a club member. And I reused the hardware (J- hook, plate, and screw/knob) that held the air pump/fix a flat that came in the spare tire well.

Been thinking about this also, I got new wheels and instead of selling all 4 I think I'll just keep 1 of them and put 1 of the stock tires back on it and use it as a spare. Maybe try and sell the other 3 for others wanting a spare. Just gotta find a jack and I'll be good, will use a 3/4 in racket for the lugs.

I was able to get a new OEM ford jack and lug wrench from Tousley Ford Parts Depot

for $60 shipped

4R3Z-17032-AA - the lug wrench

4R3Z-17080-AA - scissor jack

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I had to shell out about $300 for a 'spare tire' kit for this car......... WTF.

Ford could've saved a little weight by not putting 60lbs of mufflers on them and giving us a 30lb spare tire.... idiots

I will be using a race star front runner as my spare. I have a tire off of a 17 inch steel spare that I will be transferring over to that wheel. I may plastidip it to make it look official.

Fits on all 4 corners, light weight, and fits in the wheel well with room to spare (pardon the intentional pun, lol) All for about 200 bucks...

I'm sure there are others that need a spare and will find this thread useful. Im using the same rim/tire just gunmetal as my spare.

 

[SteveBramlett]

Backspacing?

UWISHU1, excellent solution and thanks for sharing. What back spacing or specific model number for the 18X8 5-100/114 35FBR DRAG DR34 that you used?

Thanks, Steve

I am close to ordering my own 2013 Brembo Mustang and I am somewhat embarrassed to admit the point of this thread never occurred to me. What does Ford's "tire mobility kit" consist of?

 

[BlackDragon]

fix a flat and an air compressor

 

[Stretch98]

The Fix-a-Flat product "should not be used on Z-rated tires" according to their own website. I will be using Z-rated tires (Michelin Super Sport) on my car and I suspect most other enthusiast owners will also.

Looks like I need to be arranging for a compatible spare.
