Yesterday I saw my spare tire for the first time and I have to say I was a little dissapointed that it was not a full size tire! Now I was thinking of buying a full size tire ( I have the sport package) and replacing that whimpy thing!

Does anyone have a spare sports package tire he/she wants to sell and above all, would it fit in the compartment without shrinking the trunk??
Thanks,

I have the 7 spokes 16" in mine. It fits... sort of. The centre of the wheel bulges out just alittle bit. You probably won't even notice.
Sorry, mine are not f/s.

The carpet handhold thingamiggee doesn't always lay flat bit otherwise it fits fine with stock size tires. You might have a bit of a problem with your spare tire holdown bolt though. Mine came shipped with a A6 full size spare tire bolt, but I imagine you shouldn't have a problem a full year later.
