Will I still be able to use my stock (2005 5 lug) spare tire when i do my RSX-S brake swap or am I going to need to procure one from an RSX-S

If you got the same style spare tire that we got here in europe then it only fits in the rear.

Yeah I read this on the CTR:UK forums and it sounds like a PITA. Honda put a 15" spare in the CTR...they called it a 'space saver' spare or something to that effect. If you get a flat in the rear its fine; but if you get a flat on the front you have to remove a rear wheel and swap with the front...put the spare on the rear.

Personally I saved myself the potential hassle and bought a RSX-S spare...its 16".

Yeah it's pretty retarded, but atleast it saves a little weight and room in the trunk.
