Spare tire solutions for 911s with big brakes

Guys,

I've got 996 brakes on my 3.2 carrera with 17" rims. The stock spare tire is useless at this point. Are there any later model 911 spare tires that would fit? Or any other creative solutions?

Thanks!

I'm game for that. Any concerns on fitment given the different offsets?

Nope bolt on. Boxster spares are cheap. Bought one for 50.

I have 930 calipers on my SC based build and have a 16" spare from a 964 or 993 which works but I need a 5-6mm spacer and longer studs. Fits perfectly into the cavity in the frunk.

Along with the other spares mentioned, a 928 spare ('87-up) will also work. Reason I mention that is because after the 930, the 928 was one of the first Porsches with the "common" Brembo brakes that required the different shaped spare. So the spare's part number for 964 and 944 cars actually has a 928 part number. 928.362.030.02 is a pretty common spare
