Full size spare tire in your trunk?

Does anyone have this? I'm sure you'd notice, lol. But seriously, the 2006 press release (thanks Andrei) says that a full size spare was an option. If so, how nicely does it fit in spare tire well?

I'm pretty sure all X's had this for 2005-2006. Not sure about other years.

I have one and it fits just fine.

A full size spare fits very nicely in our trunk. A tiny bit less trunk space than one without a full size spare.

I don't have a full size spare, but I can fit a 12" 4080 enclosure in my trunk.

My '06 has a full-size spare (17" non-sport, RWD) and it fits perfectly. Not the easiest thing in the world to take out of the trunk though, since it's a snug fit.

My 05 has a full size spare with a matching 17" seven spoke wheel. It was standard when I bought my G. Can't tell you about today.

I think it was part of the premium package, full size spare with 17" rim.

I haven't had my full size spare in my trunk for some time. Tis the reason why I have AAA but that is a hassle. It's also a hassle to dismount both of my amps.

Its part of the premium C package.

The premium B package has a space saver spare.

The difference is different tire packaging as the full size sits higher, so if you want to put a full size in, you need them supporting styrofoam as well
