How are you gonna fit the full size 5th in the trunk?

Do you have a big brake kit? I don't really see the need for a full size spare unless you were doing that.

It will fit, very tightly. No I dont have the big brake kit yet, I am waiting until next spring when I install my turbo because after that my car will never see another Canadian winter. I would also like to get some slotted or cross drilled rotors instead of the tib kit.

Yeah it will fit fine. I have had my Team Dynamics in there with a 215/45/17 on it. The only thing is that it pushes up the floor a little bit. I also had the RS limited's in there today and they fit fine

Hmm... I'll have to try putting one of my factory rims and tires in there as a spare instead of the donut too.

Yeah but if you take of those foam things it will be almost level...I have had a full size in the trunk for 1 1/2 now.

Really? I had to buy an entire new set of rims when I bent one of mine and I tried fitting one of the tires in there because I figured I might as well have a full sized spare since I have 3 extra rims. It stuck out a lot.

I had mine in the trunk for a little while too...It definitely seemed like it would fit if I removed the foam.

I was thinking of putting a tire in that space but that was when i could have put a stock wheel there, now i cant because of the BBK. That and i put the battery back there. I'll just have to wait for AAA if anything goes wrong.

Totally off topic but can you give me instructions to run a battery to the trunk. I know Jay did it a while back, and I would like to do it too.
