...i decide to change the wheel for the spare tire .Oh my GOD! when i try to put the spare tire i found a problem ;the spare tire not fit due to brembos upgrade( a lot of things come to my mind=more than 5 years driving with an useless spare tire).."oh my God"!
can anybody tell me if the STi spare tire will fit in mY WRX 2002?

Easiest and cheapest way is to see if your spare fits over your rear brakes. Then if/when you do get a flat, you rotate the Rota from the back to the front and put the spare on the rear.
Or, buy another wheel that clears Brembo's and get a tyre that is as close (in rolling diameter) to whatever size is on the car now.

you should never put a pair tire on the front wheel. but like what the poster above me said. If you get a flat in the front, move the wheel from the back to the front and put the spare on the back.
