Ok, I need to get new brakes, so i might as well upgrade them. The one question I have is if I get larger rotors and calipers, what happens if I get a flat and need to use my spare ?
Will the spare fit over the brakes ? I'm looking to get a fairly large upgrade for the front and rear, like ECS stage 2 or something...
I thought about this, and searched, but I just can't figure out the answer to this for some reason

Re: Kind of dumb question>> (G3T3I7)

If it's a back tire that went flat, you'd probably be OK. If a front goes, you'd have to rotate the back to the front and put the spare on the back. This all goes from the assumption that the rears will still be small enough to fit the spare. I thought about this too when I upgraded. If it don't work of course you'll have to get a bigger wheel for a spare or run without one.
