4 donut spares? Yes it's safe to just sit there, why wouldn't it be if you're not driving it? What about just letting it sit on jack stands?

^^What BB said.

They will fit, but don't even think about taking it onto the street.

The funny thing is, if a few people went to a few meets and acted like they were riding on 4 donuts on purpose to be cool or unique, fools everywhere would start doing it as the latest fad that all the kids would want to do.

Our "donut" rim design is FTW BTW... If they made them wider, they'd be a hell of a track wheel... 18" and still clearing our BBK... Veddy nice IMO...

Spare

It would be nice if it was full size. It looks like a g35 19inch stock cut in half and painted black

Yes, our spare is the best spare I've ever seen, LOL.

BTW, if I get a new set of rims in larger size, would it be good to buy a new spare to match? Like if I got 20 inch rims, should I get a 20 inch spare?

If you have 18" wheels its T145/80D17.
If you have 19" wheels its T145/70R18.
