Default Can you fit a full spare tire in a tC?

the title says it all: Can you fit a full spare tire in a tC?

I already did a search and I couldnt find a good answer, so I figured Id just ask.

Basically what I am looking to do is to get another stock tC wheel, get a tire on it and mount it in the stock donut location.

Sorry but it won't fit flush since putting the 5th spare stock wheel will come higher than the cargo liner and it will look and cause a new rattle!

you could always use the tiedowns to secure the full size spare on top of the spare tire cover (just like you're supposed to do with the deflated tire after changing it), but then you'd lose a bit of trunk space.

only other option is put the full size spare where the donut goes and make a false floor to go on top

I may have to do that then, thats a good idea, plus it would give me more space for my amp(s)!

Might as well use thin plexiglass, an LED light kit, and a couple computer fans to show it all off, lol.
