19" OEM Ray fit as a spare?

Whats up fellas, just need confirmation. Wondering if an 19" OEM Ray will fit in the back as a spare? Just upgraded to Brembos and realized if I get a flat the 17" thats in the trunk won't fit.
About to purchase one for cheap, would like to know for sure before I do.
Btw, the rim is a rear.

Thanks!!!

methinks it's going to be much quicker to just put it in there and check?

^ That would be ideal, but don't have the rim with me. Have to take a drive to pick it up. Rather save gas and time just to check.

I would just get an oem 18 or the spare that comes with the brembo coupes that looks like a mini rays 19.

I have an OEM 19 as a spare and it "kinda" fits where your spare tire currently sits. Your trunk liner carpet will have a bulge in it and won't sit flat. So it will fit in there, but your trunk will no longer have a flat surface across since the OEM 19 will stick out a bit.

It might be different for those whose car came with a full size spare, which mine did not.

It should fit as long as your tires are fairly close to stock diameter. As CandlestickPark mentioned, the problem comes from the wheel being wider than the original spare. You can either deal with the hump or buy an extra set of the foam spacers to raise the whole floor of the trunk up a few inches.

My ride came with a full 17" spare wheel. I think it may stick up a couple of inches, don't think it will bother me too much. The foam spacers is a pretty good idea, I guess home depots would have these??

Well, I meant buy some more foam spacers like the ones that come with your car if you have a full size spare. You'd have to order them from Infiniti and I have no idea how much they cost. Or you could go to Home Depot and try to find something similar and cut it to the right size.

Just buy a set of 10=15mm spacers and bolt that one if you get a flat. Problem solved

^ You sir are a genius!!!! Lol....didn't even think of that. To be safe a 15mm spacer will fit using the factory 17" wheel? I guess I would need the spacer with the studs, correct? Don't know much about spacers.

I am running 20 in the front and 25 in the rear and still have room. Also depends on how low you are.
