13231, People with GSX "big brakes" installed...
Posted by Mystic511, Nov-08-02 12:27 AM
Thinkin about getting GSX calipers. My only problem is, i seem to be accident prone and had about 4 flat tires within the one year I've had my car.. so i definately need to have a spare (or suck it up and get AAA)

So my question is, our spare tire won't fit on after that right?

I guess stock GSX's have bigger spare tires then?

Yup, you hit the nail on the head.

You can use your spare. You'll just have to move some of your wheels around.

Front right tire....flat
Move one of the rears to the front and put the spare on the back...ect.

I was thinking about that too. My Baer brakes have 13" rotors and I know the 14 or 13" spare isnt gonna work. Like logic said, if one of your front tires blows your gonna have to take one of the rear tires off and put the spare on it and put that rear tire up front. It sucks, but its the price you pay. Oh and all GSX's came with a 16" spare

Now why didn't I think of that?

Still kinda interested in getting a GSX spare though, especially after I get my 18's fixed up and put back on for the spring.

Thanks for the info!
