I dunno about you, but with my full sizes (when the spare is in use) wont fit into the tire well properly, for reference im runnin 225/50 on my OE 16s..... it leaves a big bulge in the trunk and its just not right

I've had the same problem, I wanted to get a 5th 18 as a spare but there's no way it'll fit since I can't fit a 16 oem in there

in this case Aspect really isnt the issue, its width, and a 135 is definately alot smaller than a 225

You gonna build it for me? I'm already glassing my whole trunk, but there's still not really any room because of the depth on the compartment

Yank the rear seat and set something up there to hold the spare. I've seen it done in other cars before.

but it seriously comes in handy when u have rims n need a full sized spare. i sacrificed the bulge for practicality, and it paid off

Haha, yeah I know, I like my backseat though. Being only 5'8" it makes things easy haha but yeah, you should definately remove it and set up something. Thatd be sick.

AND EW. I sat in that freaking truck. WTF. Thats wrong Chris, come on dude.
