I was very concerned about the lack of a spare in my SRT8
I purchased a nice plug kit to compliment my air pump...still concerned. No spare could be terrible when far from home.
I researched.
Purchased the Adapter 5X115 x 5X115, this permits an 18" Compact spare from a Magnum/Charger/300 to clear the Brembos.
I purchased a compact 18" spare from a Magnum and a spare from a Charger. Both are T145 80 D18 but the wheels differ. Also bought the factory jack, wrench and hold hardware. all from junk yards.

I test fitted to make certain all was ok prior to stowing. Both wheels clear the brakes with the use of the adapter. The factory jack works well. Always use my floor jack, but wanted to test all the equipment. First time using a scissor jack; worked pretty good.

If the flat is in the rear, I will put the CS on the front and move the Full size wheel to the rear. (The LSD rear could be harmed if two different diameter tires are used. The difference is less than 1" but I am not taking chances)

Now I have a spare, jack, plug kit, air pump and piece of mind!

The retainers are easily removed and only need fror the production line...discard after removal.

That's a great idea... where did you find the adaptor? Beans to YOU!
Great write up and pictures!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the info!!!

Dude that is awesome. I too want to know where you got that adapter. and how much did it cost, if ou don't mind me askin

Thanks for the Kudos.... learned about the adapters on another forum...
If you have an R/T or SE...setting up a spare is no problem, just stop by a auto junkyard.

If have Brembo's you need a special adapter, call....they are very knowledgeable.
SRT8's require special studs too. Best to call and describe what you are attempting to do.
Mine cost about $75.00.
