mate as long as your rolling radius (I.e the distance traveled in a rotaion of the wheel) is the same you wont need a different spare.

Would of thought it should be the same. Easiest way would be just measure it.

I'm pretty sure the wr1 spare is bigger to clear the brembos. I can measure mine if you'd like. I think you're right that the rolling radius will be bigger on the 18".

Space savers in the normal newage STis are 17"

The tyre profile on the 18" alloys will be lower than on the 17" alloys to keep the rolling radius the same - so I would imagine the WR1 will use the same 17" spacesaver.
