what i want to know is what the hell you do with a 315 wide rear tyre when you get a flat and put the stock spare on, now you have this monster wheel that hangs half out of the spare tyre recess

Well...you obviously get the flat repaired ASAP because no one wants to be seen driving around with a tiny 17" of 18" spare tire and wheel that doesn't match the other 3.

Suggest you put four wheels and tires on just like the spare and then you won't need to worry about it. Or, if you have a flat my money says you will figure it out. Hint--- throw it in the back.

Keep a spare 315 tire in the back for long road trips.

I'm still looking for an OEM wheel!!! (Shameless plug)

I wasn't serious either. Don't you just love having fun at the expense of others? Top of my list for building self esteem.

The spare wheel for the iS is a decent looking 20" alloy. It just happens to only be maybe 4" wide

JB why not try a wheel seller that sells OE reconditioned wheels?

This is a rep but at least you can buy one wheel, or have them see if they can find a remanufactured OE wheel?

Or here is an OE wheel:
