So I got a flat tire...no big deal, got all the tools, even a floor jack in the trunk. Except the fact that the donut spare doesn't fit over my brakes...both FRONT and BACK. UGH.

Learn from my mistake - if you change rotor size or calipers...make sure the spare you're carrying will work with the new brakes!

Luckily, this was a slow leak that happened in front of my house, but I can only imagine the frustration of this on a road trip.

Ya....My old Legacy has the same issue.

My spare fits over the stock 2 piston 11.3" brakes, so I think I'm set. I love having a full size spare.

Thank you for this. I should check this out this weekend to see if it fits anymore.
