Another spare tire question

would a full size (19" OEM rim + tire) fit inside the well in the trunk? Or would I have to keep it in the actual trunk part?

Kinda kills things if we want to roadtrip and carry luggage, etc

A full size 19" tire will not fit in the spare tire well

Some have considered purchasing a doughnut spare. A smaller width wheel would likely fit over the rear brakes. A front flat would require you to change two tires/wheels - move the rear tire/wheel to the front and then put the doughnut on the rear. To fit it in the well you would need to purchase a dry cell battery and relocate it.
