I'm going to be adding an oil cooler, fuel pump and battery up in the frunk. Guessing by 165SR/15 spare is going to have to be sacrificed.

I am thinking of a vertical mount on the bulkhead with a 13" or 14" wheel and a collapsible tire...a smaller version of what 944's have. Or a skinny spare.

Ideally something like a 13x5.5/6 or 14" wheel. Are there any wheels out there, steel or otherwise' that have a 4x130 and are narrow 13 or 14"? Not concerned too much with looks.

I am running 15x7 Panasports with 195/55 on the car. I'm not near the car so not sure how much vertical space there is in the frunk.

Pictures of solutions for tire and/or battery and oil cooler frunk installs much appreciated. thx

Are you 4 lug Panasport or 5 lug? I’m wanting to do the 4 lug Fuch/space saver. I have seen PMB dose a very nice 4 lug Fuch with a space saver although I can’t find any one that will do it or even think it’s possible.

Wes,

It is done. Get your wheel and get a 15in spacesaver from ebay and bata-boom you are set. I got a couple of MB spacers savers on ebay and took off the tires.
