Hey guys, i'm looking for answers from any 05+ owner kind enough to take a peek at his/her spare tire.

I'm looking for a 17" spare to clear the 13" brakes on my 5.0. Is the 05+ spare in fact a 17" rim? Do V6's also come with the 17" spare? What size tire is on the rim?

Thanks

If you brake upgrade kit is meant for factory wheel then it should clear the spare.

Nothing really factory here. My original spare is 4-lug...so I need something completely new. That's why i'm looking for a 17" spare to clear these...and I think the 05+ has it.

Dunno about the V-6's, but my 07 GT has a 17 inch rim. Tire is a T185/60R17.

Does anyone know for sure on the V6's as i'm sure these will be more common in the boneyard

The premium v6s came with 17s and deluxes had 16s unless ordered otherwise.

That looks like a Cobra wheel with Cobra brake upgrade, I would assume then a spare tire from a Cobra would work.

It would.

Cobra spares are $100+ Just looking for a cheaper alternative.
