flat + new rotors = no spare, Can anyone help? $$ (Santa Rosa)

Nothing out of the norm, just driving to work today and over lunch I acquire a flat. AAA came out 15 mins ago to put my spare on....but the damn thing won't fit on because my rotors are too big..
Anyone in Santa Rosa have an extra BBS stocker 17" 5x114 that's willing to help me out? I'll get you covered on something worth your while!
Jon

thanks for your regards guys, i wound up calling a Empire Tow company, honest company that got my car on a flatty without ONE scratch. REALLY professional, and timely.
$100 later though.
Time to start looking for some good rubber.

A tech came out to 'put' my spare on. I failed to realize the spare wouldn't fit over my rotors so the tech was just being a punk and noticed my exhaust and made note that it would be against policy to tow my car... It's bs because AAA picked me up 3 times last year when I put my FMIC on and had problems with t-bolts...I didn't have a flat tire, which is what their problem was this time 'being too low'...

What tow service was it. I hang out with some very high up AAA people in San Fransico.
I'll pass the B.S. along to them.
