If they didn't it's pretty brainless to use the spare.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wondering if the spare fits the rear wheel? If not, the car would need to be flatbedded if the rear tire blows right? Seems like the rear is blown often so what's the point of the spare which take up trunk space and weight?

POST 3Original post

Yep it fits, though if you have spacers you need to remove them. I have used it twice in the past year. Once while a rim was being repaired and once when I got a flat. The spare has a very large offset to allow it to fit. Just check the spare tire pressure and make sure it's at spec.

POST 5Original post

I've use the spare tire on my ex-996C2 couple time at the rear. It will look funny but it works!

POST 7Original post

Yup, you can use it on any wheel. Just replace it asap!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, My friend w Boxster had a flat and couldn't use the spare. She and her husband must have failed to put it on correctly. They were stuck in the NV desert in 110 heat for an hour and had the car flatbed. I guess they sold the car afterwards for no reason.

POST 11Original post

Yep, I bet they had wheel spacers on.... If they didn't it's pretty brainless to use the spare. When I got a slow leak on my driveway, I didn't even bother to fill it up and drive it to the tire shop (1.5 miles away). I just put the spare on to hold the car and took the tire off and brought it to the tire shop in my Cayenne. Took a whole 5 minutes, actually one of the easiest spare tires I ever used since it's bolt through, not lug nuts.

POST 12Original post

BUMP for price reduction - priced to sell... wheels must go!

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I think it's user error. I wonder why they had issue since Boxster doesn't have spacers. It's sad that most people don't know how to change tires. If people actually pay some attention and prepare for accidents, they would save headache when the inevitable happens.

POST 14Original post

Are the wheels still avail ? whats the price ?

POST 15Original post

Yes it fits the rear, I had a flat on the rear and it fit fine.....

POST 16Original post

Just don't drive too fast, it feels like you have no air in the rear tires when you have it on...... -Eli
