Check to see if the donuts fit on all four wheels. I know Honda says only to use the spare on the front, but I am not sure if this is due to a rear fitment issue or not.

donuts only being allowed on the front is due to the fact that having two different sized tires side to side on the rear will destroy the diff. They should fit fine.

To be a little most specific in case anyone read this wrong (as I did at first), he means same diameter tire, not width of tire.

Its an 03 RSX spare, but the 03 RSX wheels are identical in specifications to the AP1 Front wheels. I never test fitted it on an S2k but it should fit.
