Does the spare wheel fit over the front brakes on the U.S. EVO VIII? I've heard you have to use your rear wheel and put your spare on the rear due to the brakes? Is this true?
Personally they should just given us a full size spare like bimmers do. I'd pay an extra $300 for full size. That's will be pain in the *** if the front tires get a blowout. Usually from personal experience it's always the front tires

They have to use a fullsized spare for 4wd vehicles. There will be problems if you run a completely different size than normal(or a immensly bigger size than whats on the front two or on the back two).
then take all that heavy-*** stuff out.

The spare tire is a 17" space-saver: T125/70D17 specifically.
According to this page:
http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/3rdgen/how-to/rs_brakes.htm
it fits over 314mm rotors, so I don't think fitting over 320mm rotors is out of the question.
