Spare tire - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey people, if we get aftermarket wheels and want one of them to be a spare instead of the factory spare, how big can they be? what's the biggest size we can fit in the spare tire hole? I searched and threads about air intakes came up

Where you'll run into the problem is with the width. Since there's nothing else in the way you can go as big as you want with a relatively close to stock outer tire diameter (i'd guess you have at least an inch to play with before you'd start hitting the edges of the well in diameter), but if you go probably more than 225 wide it won't fit in without pushing up the trunk floor cover.
