I'd like to put a spare wheel/tire in the rear trunk of my V8 conversion. 5x130 conversion also. Stock body and suspension.

Will a spare for a 97-05 Boxster work...

Lug pattern and diameter look OK.


Better choices?

I have a 7"x15 full size spare with a 225/50 tire on it and it just barely fits in the rear trunk. When you stow the top it sits on the tire but the trunk still closes.

I got a 6"x15 rim to replace it but haven't mounted a tire yet. Probably gonna go with a 195/60 tire on that which should give me plenty of clearance for the top.
