full size spare tire options on a BD with brake upgrades

[danieltrusty]

What are people using for a spare tire? I'm planning on doing the WRX/H6 brakeupgrade on my BD and would like to be able to keep a full size spare. I have a 15" steel wheel from a cavalier(I think) with 195/65/15 and it fits in my spare tire well, but sits a little higher than the trunk floor. I know my snowflakes will not fit in the well. I drive a lot in places far from civilazation and feel better with a full size spare. I'm pretty sure the small factory spare wouldn't clear with the brake upgrades anyhow.

What offset is that Cavalier rim from? And does that profile match your current tire setup? Running uneven treads/profile will work against your AWD system.

Check your original spare. I am pretty sure it is a 16 that will clear a WRX / H6 upgrade.
