    Re: spare tire well

    ^^no actually i don't think it'd work because the jack and tool kit are there and the well isn't deep enough!

    Re: spare tire well

    an 8.5 fits barely, pushes up on the cover ever so slightly... I have a 18x8.5 matching spare with 235/40/ZR 18 tires and it fits diameter wise as well ..

    Re: spare tire well

    The only other part that would affect it fitting is if you got say a ET 30 which would push it out of the well more.. mine are ET 35, I hope that helps

    Re: spare tire well

    Helps tremendously thank you, so your saying it fits depth wise and doesn't push up on the cover too much; but what about width your 18 fits but about 19 is there enough room there as well?

    Re: spare tire well

    I'm not sure with the 19's.. I haven't had them yet... I guess it depends on what rubber you run.. I went out and looked at mine a minute ago and there is still a little room around mine... so you know the jack holder and tool holder are on there own little shelves so that isn't the issue... it all depends if your rolling diameter is going to be bigger than OEM

    Re: spare tire well

    Since I'm bored, I just went and measured.. my 18 with rubber is about 25.5" in diameter and it seems as though you have about a half inch more of clearance..

    Re: spare tire well

    A size 35 tire would keep it at OEM right; or would it be a 30?

    Re: spare tire well

    If you got a flat, you couldn't run the spare until you got a new tire?

    Re: spare tire well

    Yes, I just didn't know if it would hurt the suspension being coilovers and the vehicle lower than stock

    Re: spare tire well

    Having the same wheel as far as I know is the best option due to rotational mass/unsprung weight..
