You should nut run a spare on the front anyways. It is bad for your differential.

I know what you mean. I never drive spare tire on front wheel yet. I know it is really bad to turn.

12" rotor will work 16" torque star, tri-spoke, ordonez1307's wheel (forgot what name of this wheel)

12" rotor will not work 16" crosslace.

That's how I got info. from clubgp few months ago.

Good write up to do gxp brakes. On page 7 you can see that the torque star wheels fit.

Yeah the GXP set up is a 13" rotor in the front and a 12" rotor in the rear. I am not sure if I want to do the GXP set up or just go with the GM 12" upgrade and save some money. Tough decision.
