I have ap racing brakes and the spare I have does not although I purchased the car with standard brakes. You can simply purchase a single 17inch wheel to use as a spare.

I have heard of cases where they haven't though.

xr6t ute Member 442 Member For: 21y 28d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 09/01/05 09:52 AM Share Posted 09/01/05 09:52 AM Im pretty sure that if you get the ford performance brakes you have to have the matching alloy wheel, whether it be 17 or 18". But I think you have to pay for it, dont think they just give it to you.

P.S.I Member 229 Member For: 22y 3d Location: sydney Posted 09/01/05 09:57 PM Share Posted 09/01/05 09:57 PM When I ordered mine the premo`s were $2950.00. Two weeks later the dealer phoned to tell me I had to purchase a 17" spare @ around $350.00.I argued that this need to be disclosed at the time of sale and ended up getting it for free.

The Steel wheel will NOT FIT over the brakes.GAH! I'll definately have to get an 18" wheel then... Just lucky I didn't get a flat!
