Anyone bought the spare wheel kit on ebay?

[car]

I've got (or will have shortly) 2016GT PP with the big brakes - just wondering if anyone has bought the spare wheel kit on ebay? Mainly will it fit the front with the big bembos?

The spare is a 18 which is too small for models with Brambo calipers.
What you can do is you can take one of the back tires and put it on the front with a spacer and put the spare on the back.
You need spacer to mount rear tire on the front or it will rub against the strut.

I ordered the car with the spare and have 20x9.5 wheels, and put the Brembos on so the spare won't clear, but I can put a rear on the front without a spacer.

It really depends on the offset.
Factory PP rear wheels don't have enough offset to clear the struts on the front.

Exactly!

This spare wheel & tire kit will fit all 2015 thru 2016 Ford Mustang with either the 17, 18" or 19" wheel. Will not fit the GT Performance Package (67G) or any Mustang with 20" wheels! Will NOT fit cars with the Brembo brake package!

That statement is what I've seen on many of the advertised kits.

The spare will not fit over the Brembos in the front. Plus I've heard that it will damage the limited slip diff if you use it in the back due to the difference in diameter between the spare and the regular tire.

Thanks for that.
