First of all, would it be possible to increase the size is the mini-tire well in the back for a full-size spare wheel? Probably just need to hammer the metal to the right shape, right?

Would it be too much work/trouble to make it? I know the gas tank is under there, but is there anything in the way or anything you'd have to move?

Right now, I have a full-size wheel in the back. I removed the hinged part & cut the deck to the size & shape of the wheel, and use a hold-down strap for a boat/trailer to hold it hown. Not bad looking, except the red strap faded to pink. I thought it might be nice to have a little more vertical room in the back Even a well 3 inches deep would be nice.

thx.

TomoHawk - my car fits a full size spare from the factory(1972 240Z) - what car do you have?

Sorry,

1978 280Z

It comes with a "lightweight" spare with a dry-rotted, collapsed tire. First thing I trashed, along with the empty air can.

Sell it and buy a 260!

NO !!!

:mad:

This may not be what you want to hear, but may be helpful anyway....

I have heard that some Hyundai cars use the same small inflatable spares. They even have the same bolt pattern.

Peace out
