Dude you still have your stock calipers don't you? Just leave that in the boot with the spare Spec B wheel you got in there. So if you do need to change to the spare, you can swap the caliper back to stock so that the Spec B wheel can fit on there. :D

Yup they fit but in the case of a flat front tyre I'd have to take a rear off, put it on the front and then put the Spec B wheel back on the rear, that is what Jim is mentioning... but you know how it is... a complete set would be nice :)

Oh forgot to mention someone had taken my rear brembo's so I only have the stock rear brake set up...

Umm, yes, that would be a good idea too. :D What I was referring to is that you leave the factory calipers in the boot. And if you need to change the front wheel, just un-do the Brembo calipers, re-install the factory calipers while you're on the side of the road, and then you can easily fit the Spec B wheel on. Granted you'll have one side Brembo and the other side factory but it's only temporary. :pardon:

And when somebody asks he can say that they stole one of the front brembos as well
OR
Trieu can put an interesting twist on that very rascist joke about a thong

I read somewhere that the 3RB wheels will fit over the brembo's with a 5mm spacer. 5mm spacers are around $10-20, if it doesn't work then you loose $10-20 if it does it saves you heaps, and let us know..
