Just woundering, has anyone managed to fit a good sized 17" full time spare inplace of the factory temp spare without mod/too much mod?

 

I fit a 195x35x17 with a little bit of work to the cargo area...

 

I'm sure that was more than a little bit of work!

It looks FANTASTIC!

 

thats not that bad, but it looks really nice, good job. also helps proove my thereoy with how i'm going to place the tire.

thanks for the pic!

 

hey, just woundering... what size is your sub there?

 

12" with an estimated 1.25 air space loaded here is a pic of it when I was working on it...

 

sweet, do you have any other shots during your work on it so i can see how you started?

what i'm thing about doing is centering the 17 spare straight in the middle and have 4 Kinetik HC600 batteries, 2 on each side of the tire and then have my 12's one each side of those near the rear side windows and the rear passenger head rests.

and before someone says that i can't fit 4 batteries in the back, goto Kinetikaudio.com and check out the HC600, 7" long/ 3" wide/6" tall. 4 of those put togethere gives me plenty of backup power.

 

^ What he said. Pics pics pics!

 

yeah I got pics somewhere on memory cards sorry I can't post any up I have to finish gettng the box back together for CES next week and I am working on 07 Mustang GT that needs to be done first week of February.... I will try and find the pics and do a post on the build.

Just a quick note:

I used the space under the carpet where the plastic fill panel is, for the sub air space. It is a two piece interlocking shell covered in matching vinyl. The spare is a fully functional 17x7.5 with a 195/35/17 that can be removed like the original spare. The height is about 1.25 inches taller than the factory cargo covers and I used foam and high dense partical board for the frame and core. The reason for the angled sub is to maximize air space and to keep from magnet vent hole from being blocked and/or hitting the bottom of the box and rear monitor support/shock tower bars.

Hope this helps you out, good luck on your mods...

 

think it's possible to fit upto a 195/45/17? or how about atleast a 195/40/17?

i see theres an added piece to the back of the rear seats just behind the monitor there and it somewhat throws off my prospective when deciding if either a 40mm side wall or 45mm side wall tire will fit...

 

Well CES is tomorrow, so let's see those pics ;) j/k no rush
