Does anyone know where to buy replacement space saver spares?
Due to my brake upgrade, I'm pretty sure my old spare won't fit over the brakes. But I'm guessing the SVT spare would.
TIA...

what size did you upgrade to?
The SVT is a 16" spare, have you thought of using a can of fix a flat instead of the spare. I thought of just making a small kit for emergencies and putting it where the spare tire and jack are.

I have 17" SVT Euro edition rims. 16's will fit on the front, but not on the back so if I got a flat I'm pretty sure I would have to put the space on the front.
If a tire blows a sidewall (I came close this spring), no amount of fix a flat will get you on the road again.

you have a point about blowing a sidewall
what was your brake upgrade, guessing you went to an SVT brake set up.
