Spare tire for larger brakes (4.6/4.8 is) question.
my question is to the guys running the larger brakes. What do you have for a spare tire!? I saw this on realoem, 01 Emergency wheel, light alloy 5JX18 ET:40 1 36116750316 $203.95 and was wondering if this is the spare that fits the larger brakes!? my next plan is to find it somewhere! lol, for now I have told my wife, if we get a flat up front, ill have to jack up the X5 and put the 18" rear wheel up front, and the spare on the rear wheel, until I get it repaired. I like to be somewhat prepared for the worst ! and think that now that I have these monster brakes up front, I should have a spare that could be fitted if needed! I would probably put an emergency spare on the rear anyway, (steering is priority over rear wheel power and handling in my opinion. !) but I was just looking for a solid answer from the forum. I don't suppose all the 19" and 20" wheels are utilizing run flats! ?? Thanx in advance! Riemer  PS, calipers are since powder-coated royal blue, and the tires have been changed! (this was a test fit the day I got the brakes sent to me

Spare on the "iS" is 19" to fit over the brake in the fronts.
The one you link to RealOEM is 18" and it doesn't shown as spare for the "iS"

Good day!
I also have one exactly like "white46" has... I was thinking about finding a full size that would fit on the front and fit in the spare well... might only be limited to what is in there now... Cheers!

thanx guys, my spare looks like a standard 5 spoke 17" rim (style 57)
I know that an 18" rim will fit my bigger brakes, so i will keep my eye open for a spare like the one white46 posted thanx guys!

My 4.6is had a 17" spare in it when I got it. I searched Craigslist and found the correct spare (as shown above). Hard to find.
