Wow. Believe it or not
Received email from my salesperson that AoA is sending me a full size spare tire/wheel. For those who remember, I have the 17" BBS RC which came on the car. The spare was a space saver temporary. Apparently this will be shipped to me at my home address. For those of you in the same boat, you should definately ask your dealer to do same. I will post upon receipt of tire/wheel. Kudos to my dealer, Niello of Sacramento.

I got mine from Niello also but they told me that a full
size RC will not fit in the spare tire well. I am pretty sure that other owners have got the RCs in the spare tire well so I don't know why I was told that. I guess I'll have to go back and talk to them again and see about getting a full size spare. Got the car as a Lemon replacement in early Feb. 2001.

My 17x8 w/ 245/45-17 fite BARELY. Had to trim the rear of the plastic lip, and the lid....
does not close completely. Also I carry a can of WD40 in case I ever need to get it out as it is very very tight, but it is do-able
