The problem with that is that it won't fit in the spare tub, even with the tire deflated.

I just barely managed to fit one of my winter wheels (245/45/18 on a 18x9 wheel) into the tub deflated, but it makes the trunk liner sit up about 2" or so higher than normal. There is a thread on AFM (I think) where some people put together a spare package with the help of Discount Tire Direct. I think they used an 18x8 or 18x7.5 Drag wheel with a 205 width tire that fit perfectly in the tub.

Keep in mind with the Brembo car you are also going to have to get yourself a scissor jack as they don't come with one.
