Default Spacesaver on a newage STI - probably a stupid question........

Could i please ask a question from you STI owners? Do you have a standard spacesaver? I have converted my WRX to STI brakes and the WRX spare wheel doesn't fit. (changed to STI wjeels too) I am hoping there is a different version i can get hold of for an STI and it's not the case of using tyre weld like some manufacturers. Can't see any on eBay though.....
Thanks for your advice.

just try a breakers yard mate to get hold of a STI space saver, there was a couple of cars being broken on here although i'm guessing the pcd is 5x100 on yours and the cars on here where 5x114.3.

Will the space saver fit the rear, and then put the rear wheel on the front...???

Thanks - I'll keep an eye out for a STI spacesaver. In the meantime that's a great idea Ron I hadn't even thought of - the WRX spacesaver should fit over the rear Brembos no problem. I can drive without the worry of being stranded!

That's what most people do, or bin the spare and carry a can of tyre weld to save weight

A spacesaver should never go over the front anyway.
