I am not sure what to do, so I am asking :P

Since I upgraded to the bigger brakes in the front, the spare isn't going to fit the font no longer. So should I take the spare out, or just leave it in?

What does everyone think?

Just take it out to save some weight.
Mine is out all the time along with the jack.

May as well take it out, but you should come up with a flat tire plan, even if it's just a can of fix a flat.

If you dont have a staggerred wheel setup, you could swap wheels front to back, then put the spare on the back if you got a flat in the front.

Probably thats why the Shelby doesn't have a spare, just only a fix-a-flat machine.

Good thinking - never thought of that :P

If its nice sunny day, perfect If its close to 20 degree out, and you have to change out two tires...I dunno :P hehe

Can we all just have knight rider tires that fix a flat by themselves?

if you have 18 inch rims and a spare tire thats meant for 17 inch rims is there any point to keeping my spare tire?

the spare tire will still be around the same size as your 18 inch wheels. The smaller spare has a lot more tire sidewall, so if you stand it up next to your 18s, they should be close to the same size and should work fine.

Yes
