I'm not sure if this really goes in tire talk or not but I have a question. I hit a rock in the road that the car in front of me swerved and missed but didn't give me the time to miss it. It blew a good sized hole in the sidewall. I pulled over and commenced to throwing on the spare. To make a short story long, I did a Cobra brake upgrade and the spare did not fit over the brakes. Have any of you done anything to remedy this problem. I don't want to blow $150 or so on a Cobra spare that doesn't make it look better or go faster. Does a full size tire and wheel fit in the well in the trunk and could I pick up another bullitt wheel instead of the Cobra spare.

PS: I'm still driving on the Goodyear ZR45 and I had to pay $250 for one damn tire (so they all matched still).. that sucks.:censored:
