Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
The tires themselves are long out of production and spares are in demand because if not fully inflated they last only a few miles, especially when used for a rear tire.

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

Hello everyone. I just picked up a 996 C2 with Brembo Big Brake Kit (Gran Turismo). The previous owner removed the spare tire + trunk carpet + tool/jack kit for mass savings. But I'd like to have a piece of mind and have some sort of spare tire. Does anyone have a similar situation as I do and know if the OE spare tire will clear BBK? Also, if anyone lives near North Phoenix, I'd love to see if I could fit your spare tire on my car as a mock-up before i purchase a used spare tire. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I don't know about fit for the spare tire, but brace yourself for the cost of a used spare. The tires themselves are long out of production and spares are in demand because if not fully inflated they last only a few miles, especially when used for a rear tire.

Hey thanks for the reply. I've looked a little online and at local yards. You are right they are not cheap. I'm wondering if I should just look for a OE front wheel, but I'm not sure if it would fit in trunk.

If you have a reason to remove your front wheel, good time to try
