Question about ITR spare tire
I need a spare tire for my ITR. Since finding a spare tire off an ITR at a junkyard is highly unlikely, I need to know if a spare from a Prelude or a CRV will clear the ITR's front caliper. I searched some old threads but didn't get a clear answer. Any one know for sure?

Just get an old full size tire and a can of fix-a-flat. Use the fix-a-flat to get you to a tire shop (and **** off the tire changer guys) and then slap on the full size tire on your normal rim.

What?!?!? Many spares on the front are the best. Nothing like smoking the tire through 4th gear
(this was on my gsr btw, I have not used my itr spare yet).

Re: Question about ITR spare tire (AssPenny)
Note:
If you were to get a flat on the front wheel and need to drive far, put the spare on the rear and put the good rear tire on the front. The smaller front spare with a regular tire on the other side will mess with the LSD.

Sure, that will work, if you want to destroy the tire that's flat, even though it might otherwise be repairable if you didn't spray Fix-a-flat gunk on it.

And if you're going to do that, remember to jack it up using the forward jacking point just behind the front wheel well, so you only need to jack the car up once (high enough to lift both tires on that side) and then swap both tires while it's up in the air.
