Light Weight Spare

7.5# Weight reduction for Evo IX RS using RX8 Spare 17" 125 T stock tire size Yokohama from tire rack and new spare wheel from BAM wholesale. Two down sides. You have to drill lugs out to .750" too fit evo nuts. Same hub centric center on aluminum spare as stock OEM wheels 67.1mm. Spare only fits rear due to caliper clearance, so in the event of a front flat you would mount to the rear and move a rear tire forward. Weight is 25# vs stock at 32.5#. $350 all in.
