'03 TL compact spare on '07 TL?
I just purchased a used 2007 TL base w/o navi and the dang thing didnt come with a spare (yeah my fault for not looking, caveat emptor)
My question is will the compact spare from a 2003 TL work with my 2007 TL? The dimensions are 135/80/r16 (on the 2003), I cant seem to find any 07 TL's spare donuts for sale.
Normally I wouldnt care, but I live in an area with lots of construction and I know I will get a flat sooner or later.
Thank you all for the help!

the spare has to clear the front brembo's.
edit....
NEVERMIND. I cant read today.
I would try to find a 17inch wheel.
as the 16 might throw something off.
if you do have to put the 16 on, I'd put it on the rear. as the car is FWD and two matching tires up front would be ideal

Will the 17" spare fit in the trunk compartment?
I am looking at either of these:

damnit, let me research some and find out the size of the stock spare for you.
I found this info, several times throughout my search by various different ppl.
this leads me to believe that this info is correct.
in conclusion, you'll be fine using the 03 TL Spare tire.
