Full Size Spare in back?

[Anicrow]

Just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone has put a full size Rim/Tire in the back, I'm going to be buying 2 new rims at least, and am not sure whether I should get three and just have a full size spare in the back instead.

If I remember correctly the clamp back there never looked to friendly, but I'm gonna go play with a lot and see how it can fit.

Pic of rim/tire that would go: 17" (low profile tires though)

Also, anyone got a Nice Low-pro tire they like? I'm using cheapy directional Kumho ecsta's right now, they're alright, but I'm noticing some slip on the sharper turns here in the Rocky Mt's and was hoping for a little more grip.


It has also occured to me that I totally posted in the wrong section, so if a mod could relocate this I'd be greatful

I like my BFG G-force KD's. Also, as long as you are getting a new tire of the same overall diameter as stock you would have no issues using the original spare and it would save you some cash.

Yeah, I have a 17x7 in the hatch with a 225-45-17 on it as a spare. Have to cause I'd be F'ed if a front tire ever blew out being that I have a BBK and the stock spare would not clear it.

Word, and you don't have any problem with your wheels getting scratched or anything?

I figured it would line up alright, just kind of crossed my mind in bed last night, and I was in Acura hell all day trying to make one run so I never got the chance to look

As for tires, Falken Azenis are f'ing awesome.

Oh, and thread moved.
