Fitting Full Size Spare... there's room

[tigger73]

I’m not sure what the boot floor looks like in the Allspace.

Are you going to need the 3rd row of seats when travelling? If not others have just put a full-size wheel in the boot.

Had our Tig for 4 months now & the local dealer emphatically states that a full size spare will not fit in the appropriate space in the rear.

I also recall seeing a response - I think here - where a modification was made to slightly raise the height of the rear to accommodate the 'real' spare... but now I can't find it.

Will be doing some touring starting in June so would like to fix this issue if possible.

Anyone point me in the right direction, please...

Thank you Sir, your quick response is most generous with information, appreciated.

Hopefully you can get something sorted for your trip. I haven't taken a good look at an Allspace boot so not sure what space you have available for fitting a full-size spare.

I got mine off gumtree but have also bought full-size spares from a wrecker previously also.

If you do get a solution post it back up here as it'll potentially be useful for others.

Has anyone tried to get a slightly narrower tire and wheel than the standard so it fits, but would be so much better than they really small spare ?

Personally I don't think you would want to go narrower than the 215/65R17. Next size down is 205/70R17 but it's really not a very common size. I think you're better off sticking with the stock size and just living with the boot floor up a few mm.
