    Just curious what size spare 4th gens came with, I see my 2006 Sport spare is
    245/75-16, maybe its not original, as I was under the impression a 16"rim wont fit the front of the "sport" trim due to a larger disc brake..

    Am i hauling a spare around that will only work on the rear? Be real fun having to move 2 tires around while on the side of the road. Lol

    Originals are 265/65R17 for reference..

    ^I would hope it isn't the original spare! Otherwise you're hauling an 18 year-old tire with the hardness of a hockey puck!

    The stock spare would have been the same size tire as the Sport came with, 265/65/17.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I couldnt imagine they went this far different in sizing. Although the radius is nearly the same, i havent frigged around to see if it would work on the front. I probably should, or just replace it at some point.
