If you are planning to install one of the big brake kits, you won't be able to mount the 14" wheel on the front axle. BTW, has anyone installed a big brake kit yet? What is the source for replacement pads/rotors?

Would these play nicely if the spare tire basically matches the outer circumference of the tires I'm putting on my new 15" SA alloys? I'm trying to anticipate any downside, but none comes to mind.
