Will a 4th gen spare tire clear 3rd gen 1LE brakes? They seem to be much cheaper then the N64 spare and dont need the inflator can. The 98-up also come with big calipers so maybe it will fit??
Thankx

I think you'll need a spacer... atleast you do for normal 4thgen rims.

I would think a 98+ would, since the brakes are about the same size, but I have no idea if it would or not. Maybe a C4 or C5 vette spare?

I tried using my cousins spare tire out of his 99 SS on my 91 Z28 and it didn't clear the rear disk brakes.(the brakes are stock but not 1LE)
