Anybody try putting a full size 15" spare in the spare tire location? I think it'll work, there is a bunch of foam that spaces the minispare up and there looks like enough diameter... but I don't have a full size tire/wheel to try it with.
Hmm, so the tire width was too much to have the cover sit flush? I have an 03.5 with the sub, so I have 1-1.5" more clearance. I'll have to measure it if goes above freezing sometime.
I have a set of 195/50/15s up in my attic, I will lay one in there tomorrow and see how it sits. Believe it or not, it is cold as a coal diggers ass down here too
Hey Mike, got bored and went up and got down one of my tires. After I tried I started looking,,and it seems to be as wide as the factory tire, maybe a little wider. the carpet ended up being as high as the trunk latch, angled upward. If you use a 15, you will have to use a hella skinny tire, like a 185/80 or something like that. Just the width of the wheel that causes the prob. I just throw one of my factory rims in the back when I go on a long road trip. Sorry
I need cargo space. It's always full of stuff. Bikes, tools, parts, etc...I just keep a small compressor in the car anyway. Only used the minispare once. No big deal.
