go to junkyard....get any 16 inch rim with the same lug pattern. u following me here? u jump in your car...find a tire shop that sell used tires. buy a used 16 inch tire for the old rim from the junkyard. have them mount and balance it for u.......and voila!!!!! u have urself a fullsize spare tire!!!!!

this mod can be achieved by anyone! be sure to follow instructions.........

sorry for the sarcasm...but ur question was.....well.....i dunno

Yeah, the overseas models have full size spares. Might need a longer bolt down bracket though.

just pick up a steel wheel for cheap from discount tire or something with your lug pattern and get a cheap tire on there. im assuming it would fit too, it would be heavier though.

I met a guy once in Westchester, PA who had 5 Maximas in his driveway, one of which was a parts car (I was thinking about buying it). The parts car was sitting on 4 spares, and the other 4 cars each had a full size sawblade rim as a spare.
