    Spare tire question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Might sound silly, but what are you all doing for a spare after going to 18/19" wheels? Did you buy an extra aftermarket wheel/tire for a spare, too?
    I still have the 17" sport package wheel in the trunk as a spare, but am considering selling the Sport wheels and the extra spare in the trunk, too.

    Is there a donut that would fit or should I just not get a flat ?

    Thanks

    I have a matching 18x8.5 spare and it fits fine, or should I say it pushes the hatch up a small amount. Diameter wise though it easily fits with 235/40 rubber

    Re: Spare tire question

    I don't have a spare, but when I need it (like right now, damn leaking wheel! ), I use my 17" sport wheel with my 18x10's (rolling diameter difference between the 255/35/18's on my rears is negligible).

    I have matching wheels for my spare on both my Avant and S4. The TT uses the stupid doughnut and doesn't have room for anything bigger.
