JDM Spare Tire
Just curious since I was looking through an old thread.
Does anyone know if the 17" JDM spare tire would fit in the same space our donuts are in now?

I'm more interested in it since I sport the 19's in the summer and the JDM 17" spare has got to give me more clearance than the OEM donut. Plus I hear that some JDM spares may clear BBK's since some cars over there come with Brembo calipers from the dealer.

A full size wheel will fit in the well, but you won't have a flat boot floor -- it will stick up slightly.
Accord Euros in Australia were released in 2003-4 with a space-saver spare. There was sufficient demand (space savers are a big issue in Australia) that full size spares were implemented for 2005 models onwards -- but the boot floor is raised over the wheel well, and the jack and tools are relocated to one side.

Mods - please close this thread since it's been 
To those that had a relevant response, thanks again.
HaPPy jU1cE - I think the OEM donut is way to short for a lowered car with a kit. If I had to use that thing in the summer, I'd be leaving chunks of the Mugen kit behind If I ever get a new set of rims, I'll probablyy order a 5th rim to keep as a summer spare. But can't beat the JDM spare if it clears a BBK

I would also like to know if the spare is any bigger for the same reason.

I have read of not using the spare for a front tire flat which makes sense, but I'm still interested in the size of the spare even if it's for the rear.

Ok, that was a hyperbole. But it's a 5AT. I just can't imagine pouring all that money and labor into a car when your biggest bottleneck is the transmission.
I just don't get the whole JDM thing when the car was 100% built in Japan to start. Who cares what badges are on the car or for God's sake what kind of spare tire you have in the trunk? Just look at the King Motorsport Mugen TSX which tested slower than stock - I really do hope you do better than that, Colt.
