Ho ho, you'd be into HUNDREDS of ££££££££.

Tried either an STi one off a newage pre-2005, or failing that, carry a full-sized spare as I do

If you have a front puncture put the OE spare on a rear wheel and then use the full size rear to replace the front.

That works.............unless, like me, the rears are uprated brakes and the steel wheel didn't fit any more.

Thankfully I found out the EASY way, not the hard.

What rear brakes are these, AFAIK the K sport rears (or the AP 4 pot rears) aren't so big that the 17" OE bicycle wheel won't fit.

Pretty sure 17" bike wheel will fit over rear 330mm 4 pot kit. Try it and let us all know.
