Default 18" Superleggera's SPARE TIRE?!?
I have a 2001 Laser Red S4. I think I've made up my mind to pick up some SL's. I was wondering if I could fit one in the spare compartment as well. Then I could just sell all 5 of my S4 AVUS wheels and stick with one type of lug set? Any idea's?

I fit an 18x8.5 BBS CH in the spare tire well when I got a flat, so a Superleggera should fit.

Default Suggestion: use a 17" OZ SL for your spare. Same width, so with 45 series tires instead of the 40s
your 18s it will be the correct height, and you will save I think about 3 pounds. But if you want a spare wheel just incase you have a curb incident, this of course will not work. I would love to have 19" OZ SLs and a 17" spare.

All that said, put shiny wheels on the beautiful Laser Red. Regarding fitting in the spare well, I fit a BBS CH in 18" with a 235 Pilot Sport in the well. Tight fit but went right in.

Anyone heard of an S4 with the 19" OZ SLs? I sure would like to see that.

Did it take a big hit to bend it?
