      Good luck, how big are your brakes?
      What I ended up using for my spare was a C5 Vette 17x8.5 front wheel, it clears my Baer caliper when using an adapter. I tried to find a late 90's Vette space saver spare and never could find one, much less four!

      Haven't purchased them just yet but they'll likely be 13-14" rotors and Wilwood calipers

      I've got some cheap 15 inch american racing wheels that are actually still in the box that I'm not going to use. Your best bet is going to add the brakes at the end or start a junk yard search for corvette/bmw wheels big enough

      You could either get some GTO spares or like ADIcarlo said, just wait until later to put the calipers on.

      I bolt the space savers on backwards, just be sure to seat the lug nuts. Its only for rolling the car, use the advice at your own risk.

      The GTO spares are like hens teeth. Apparently they've become desirable as drag car skinnies. There's two on flea-bay right now, dude wants $300 for them.

      The GTO spares do bring a premium. I think the CTS had a larger spare, a 16 or 17.
