I bought a "donut" spare from a local junkyard for $15 from a 1983 280ZX.
I've tested it on the front of my car and it seemed to clear the brake
lines just fine... It does give more room in the trunk, especially for
those extended trips where every little bit of space counts!

I got one out of a 83' 280ZXT, it has the same bolt hole and off-set. Any
280ZX will work tho. Grab the compressed air bottle when you get it if you
can..
