Replace spare with full size
I got a new 05 DG coupe and had Stillen's AP racing brakes put on and realized that the spare tire is no good to me now. The oversized calipers hits the rim of the spare. I am going to buy a new set Racing Hart CX wheels all around including the spare. I will have the audio shop design a sound system around the Shiny silver new spare.
well i Have AAA, infiniti roadside assistance, plus a cell phone with over 200 contacts that can come get me and take me to my house to get my spare, or just bring it to me. It would be one inconvient day.. i think its worth it to have the trunk setup I wanted,

Meh. To each his own; I removed my spare to put my amps (and my carputer in the future) in that spot, because I wanted to keep the stock look of the trunk (minus the 4080 box, of course) and have the full amount of space left in the trunk.
Got a cell phone, USAA roadside assistance, and a can of fix a flat. I should be fine.

I've decided to dump my spare for daily driving and putting the spare back for out of town trips. Doing it to loose the weight. I'll count on the free AAA Roadside Assistance, my wife or family mmembers, and my last resort is my girlfriend.
