Does the setup fit under the trunk floor cover without protruding / flat?

if so, I would be interested.

After going through some threads here, I found this:
https://modernspare.com/product/2014...e-kit-options/

Apparently, a gsf owner posted on the rcf section that they have this option. Does anyone else have this? Does it fit well under the trunk mat?

that’s a bummer to hear. The well seems deep enough, so I’m surprised by this.

and do you also have a spacer to help with the clearance over the brakes?

Yeah it came with the spacer kit. I thought so as well but no dice unfortunately.

I thought the GS-F owner said it didn't fit in the GS-F trunk, but does in the RC-F's?

Got my RCF spare this week from modernspare and mounted it as a test. It easily clears the RCF front caliper w/o a spacer, fits in the space under the trunk floor. I got the option w/ everything but the tire bag (comes with a plastic tire bag). Trunk floor mat is all flush (nothing sticks up). Overall, happy that I have a spare now!

I'm very happy with the local Michelin rep, purchased a set of PSS's last June and paid an additional 30 bucks annual insurance.
6 months ago had a nail in my rear left, it was taken care of for free.

PS: I don't ride on run flat tires.

Do you need different lug nuts for the modernspare option or can you just take them off of the wheel you need to remove?

Also, if it doesn't fit under the trunk mat, is there any harm in just letting it sit in the trunk (other than losing cargo space)?
