Default Photo Request:Spare tire

Hi all,
I know this is probably one of the more odd requests, can those of you who have a spare tire in your spare tire well shoot a photo of it? I had bought a spare, that matched the dimensions, but some how, the rim off set does not allow me to secure it (using the bolt). So perhaps I may have bought the wrong rim.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Did you try flipping it over?

yes, the off set the other way causes it to not sit correctly.

Wow that looks like a nice spare. Is that full size? Definitely aftermarket spare right?

lol, that's not full sized just look at the hub size to the rest of the wheel... it's a tiny miniature wheel. The GS does not have anywhere close to the amount of room to fit anything even slightly larger in there unless you want to give up your whole trunk.

If speaking on this image, he is from the Middle East and his specks are different from the US or Canadians so he gets a full size spare. Most likely your spare is a donut like most of us.
