Did you buy a 5th rim & tire for a spare?
I always see people buying new rims and tires in sets of 4 and they never get a 5th one in case of a flat. To me that’s really stupid. Just spend the extra couple hundred and get an extra, even if you never put it in the car. Trying to drive with 3 rims & tires that are plus sized and 1 stock size is never a smart move.

I need to, after the brake swap on my car the spare no longer clears the caliper. I even tried the large spare from the MC Accent (15" if I remember right) and it only just clears the rear brake swap, no go on the front brake swap.
