I have 17x8x245x45 tire/wheel comb with 4.5 in. off set. I need a cheap wheel tire combo that will fit just as a spare. It doesn't have to be a 17 in. wheel, just so long as the over all diameter is the same and the off set is correct because I have Wilwood disc brakes up front and the wheel has to clear them..

Look for a '94 - '04 Ford Mustang Cobra, space saver spare tire. They are 155/70/17 and should clear your brakes. I'm not sure what the overall diameter is, but it should be close to your 245/45/17's (overall diameter 25.7").

Here's a current Ebay auction for one - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...059617541QQcategoryZ66475QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You could, also, try a Ford dealer.

Hope that helps.
