wallaceg Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Anybody know if a full size spare will fit in the back of a 1997 Impreza Wagon? I've currently got a doughnut back there, and the thought of a flat with no real spare kinda scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 no the full size is to tall, the diameter is almost the right size, but the 6.5" or whatever it is is a little to much. i mean.. by all means you can put it there, but your trunk stuff is going to have a wheel shaped bump in the floor.

wallaceg Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hmmmm, what about putting a slightly narrower but still full diameter spare in there? Something like a 155/80/15 instead of the stock 195/65/15? That comes to 24.8" vs. 25.0" How wide a tire will fit without pushing the floor up?

Andyjo Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i dont' know exactly, but my 205/60/R15's picked up the back cardboard thing a good inch or 2. I suppose you could use a BFH and make the compartment bigger.. i thought about this a while ago, but there's not much room in there to swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i hope i didn't just insult your intelligence) the 6.5" rin is only good from 185 to 215 and 185's pushing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
