spare tire?

Unless it is a 16" rim, it will not clear the front calipers. I tried to put some donuts on a parts car for it's last trip to the salvage yard, and a 16" donut with minimual offset managed to fit. A 15" or smaller didn't clear the brake caliper. I managed to fit that one 15" on the rear, tho.

BTW, I hate those donuts. They will limit your car by speed and agility, and it flat out sucks to have to drive 50 mph on the interstate with trucks blowing by at 70. Trust me, it only happened once with me, and I'll never do it again. Every car I bought after that with a donut got a full sized spare immediately.
