What spare tire does everybody tuck away in the trunk??

[AAA240SX]

I know it's stupid, but I was just wondering... :duh:

I'm using 95 SE wheels on a 93. Just wondering what would be more asthetically appealing...

[ThatGuy]

Mine didn't come with a spare. I'll throw one of the stock steelies back there when I find some boneyard meshies. As far as asthetics? It's just a spare tire, doesn't much matter.

[Wei240]

i have a s13 7 spoke se full size spare,
i also have the s13 7 spoke se on my car...

[AAA240SX]

I read some people use the Q45 or something...Maybe lighter?

[mrmephistopheles]

get a Z32 TT spare (with the fill-up can)

[mutkung]

I still have the one that came with the car

[Dousan_PG]

17x9 +15 fn01rc

[Andrew Bohan]

i have a 13x4 +0
or something similar

[zero.counter]

Nothing at all but sound deadening material.

[nismo skyline]

only take a spare if i go far from home, then its a s13 se wheel

[Brian]

17x9 +15 Fn01rc


hah yeah i know i am not original.

[citizen]

spares are for the weak of heart, or the sound of mind. either of which i am not.

[Johny5]

gram light 57s 17x9.5 +22

[Tdimpreza]

im stupid at the moment and dont have one dont ask why i dont even know why i dont take one of my spares out and put it in ...just lazy.. and ill regret it the day i need it

[Ghst 01]

Stock steele that came with the car

[Zemus]

Tear Drop s13 wheel. If I was 5 bolt id go TT or rx7 FC wheels, seeing as their light weight

[420sx]

my hope and luck.

[Legacy]

16x7 +35 Gold Riken Mesh w/ 205/55 tire.

I don't know about light. I have a pair of FC TII wheels at my house right now that bed to differ. =)

[Shin_Kudo]

I don't have one, I only have 4 17"s.

On a related note, anyone got a pair of cheap 4 lug 17" for sale?

[ultraprince]

I have a supra tt 17in spare. But only cuz I didn't have anything else to put there.

[Wei240]

not only do i have full size spares, i have that fill up can and AAA, yeah, i'm paranoid... :(

[thx247]

full spare, AAA is great but when I need to get somewhere I need to get somewhere.

fillup cans suck....no more tracking that tire until its cleaned out.

[NinjaGaiden]

DSM spare in my 93 coupe

first thing i found in the yard that fit.

[msaskin]

Nothing when I'm bumming around town.

When I head out of town for open track events I toss 2 of the 7 spoke stock wheels in, since they can work up front for me (z brakes). The steelies I've got won't clear.

[DJ_Sunrise]

when i did my 300z brake conversion in the front and rear, i kinda forgot about the spare.. hehe :) anyone know how much stock 300z rims weigh???

[AceInHole]

Yup. The Q45 came with a lightweight aluminum spare.

~Sunrise

last time i weighed it with tires it was around 40 lbs

[sykikchimp]

I think the 300zxtt spare is aluminum as well (at least I thought I read that somewhere)

[Steeles]

in the trunk? infinity basslink powered sub. :) spare? ha havent seen mine in the 4 years I'v ehad the car. I do keep a triple A card in the center console though

[mrmephistopheles]

some Z32s had aluminum spare... most had steel.

My Z32 spare is aluminum.. I think it early TT's that had the aluminum wheel. They're not really all that light.. but maybe lighter than steel...

[KiDyNomiTe]

15x7 +2 riken mesh

[tastyratz]

hehe steeles ive got a basslink too i LOVE IT! the things gotta be under 20 lbs for a sub box and amp combo, maybe even around 15 lbs... where else can you have bass without compromising with a big giant box and 50+lb setup. ive still got my spare back there too since i just got the car. ill take it out once i feel alittle more confident and hav a bit more practice with doing things i shouldnt in this car. plus its auto and its really weird, i hate autos!

Damn thing comes loose. I've got cracks all around my trunk panels...

[thx247]

Steelie spare works fine even with Z brakes up front...just move a tire from the rear to the front.

[machoonthetop]

theres a spare tire in my car? :confused:

[balmo]

nothing, just riding on luck.

[link240]

im just using my stock spare one which is yellow. just out of curiosity does anyone else with an s14 have/had a yellow spare, or is it just me?

[AAA240SX]

Taxi Cabs/Older Domestics...I've seen those with yellow spares. Maybe when u bought it, they'd lost the original and replaced it with something else. Thats kinda odd, maybe its JDM. haha...

[CoasTek240]

yeah my friend had a base model (teal)s14 and it had a yellow spare

[s15dude]

my car came with spare, but I took it out seeing as how it wont fit over 300zx brakes and with lsd running different size wheels in back is a bad idea. i just carry triple a if I ever need assitance, luckily I havent needed it yet, but if you always check your pressure and use decent tires then the chances of it blowing arnt as high.
