Hello Everyone,

I've been reading you forum for a few months, and you all provide a great service. I have decided to get a '96 850 Turbo Sedan with 94K. My question is:

Has anyone tried to put a larger spare tire in the trunk? I wonder what the maximum size tire will fit in the well and still allow the carpet to cover it with no problem. I am no fan of the 'do-nut' tires, and my experience has been that if you can use a 'real' tire, even if smaller than the normal tires you are better off than the temporary, in case you get a flat at night a long way from where you can get service. I can experiment around with different tire/rim sizes myself, but wondered if anyone else had tried it?

Thanks,

Duke

 

I believe a full size will fit with no problems.

My T5-R came with a full size spare 17 inch tire and rim that matches the ones I have on there.

 

that would be great- I can find a 16" rim no prolem and put the best old tire on when I get a new set of shoes.

Thanks! Anyone else have a fullsize spare?

 

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful & enjoyable.

If nothing else meets your needs, here's the ultimate last resort[8D](forgive me of lame sense of humour).
