Yes, I was saying the space saver spare could potentially fit the rear with the M performance brakes since the single piston caliper is much like what comes on the car stock. Generally speaking, it is the large, front calipers on big brake kits that a spare wheel cannot accommodate. Heck, it's hard to find a regular that will clear my Volvo's 6 piston Brembos (granted aftermarket wheels aren't as abundant for Volvos in general).

Not sure of aftermarket spare solutions that will work. I'm open to them since I already coughed up the fancy, carpet lined well that cars without spares have...need to make the spare work!
