More or less what the title says... I've bought 5 new winter tires with the thinking being I can put one (185/65/14) on the spare in the rear storage area. I just had the thought though - has anyone put a full standard bottlecap wheel, with tire in there, and did it fit? That would be awesome because I could pick one up for nothing, and then it would be a super easy swap if I ever needed to do it on the road...
Any thoughts / help is appreciated,
Cheers,
Dave
Bottlecap in Spare Wheel Area?

The wheel well is big enough for a full size wheel, no space savers on our cars!
