My pops took me for a ride in the police car when I was a very small kid. He says I was very quiet so when he turned around to check on me I was playing with a huge Rambo style knife that I had found in the backseat.

Agreed. I think I may copy your approach in concept with another wheel, or exactly if I have trouble determining what may not clear the blue car's Brembos & the black car's Baers. I suspect the Brembos may be a little tougher to clear. Plus, your wheel is available on Summit for $130, without a tire, of course. The one on LMR is $300! Yours looks better and weighs less, too.That spare is a 2015+ Mustang spare kit.
It doesn't clear big brakes like Brembo's, Stoptechs, Baer and such, but I think it works fine with Cobra brakes.
The kit is part number FR3Z-1K007-C, and you might be able to get it cheaper from your local Ford dealer
Ford Spare Tire
You know what I put my factory spare tire with 60 pounds tire pressure with the jack and tire iron bought new ones from LMR and it seems to handle better .....The weight means nothing on a street car.
May even make things worse considering it's directly over the rear tires.
I see no reason to drive around without a spare tire.
The Temporary Spare is 135/70-16.
Same height as 225/50-15.
OEM tire was 225/60-15.

Why would a Cobra 17 not clear cobra brakes?It’s a Racestar Recluse 18x5. I mounted a 18” temp spare tire to it. Weighs 36#. I have towing with Haggerty, but I wanted something just in case I got a flat and needed to get towed up on a trailer or flatbed on the flat tire. I don't want to ruin the rim/tire.
My cobra 17” spare didn’t clear the brakes, but this does by miles. Should also clear many aftermarket big brake kits which was the reason I went with it. I didn’t want to deal with spacers and such for a spare tire.

In any case, would you mind if I copy/paste your spare for my daily?
