Spare Tire for Type R

[Ducota]

Has anyone tried a large spare tire from say an MDX or other Honda Acura model with 5x120mm bolt pattern? I should have read this thread before buying this for $50,

but now I only need the spare tire.

As long as it clears the rear brakes you should be fine

Well sure, but instead of buying a dozen wheels from the junkyard, it would be nice to know which one actually fits.

Personally I’d spend the 300 and get the full kit

Regular price $220.18, Sale price $228.16? What marketing genius came up with that? If I go with that kit I'll get it from my local dealer for $150 and no shipping. Still have to find the tire off a junkyard spare of the same size. Ain't paying $150 for a new tire.

I bought one off a GMC Terrain 5 x 120 17 inch. Fits the rear only. On the front it needs a spacer to clear the caliper.

How thick?

It’s recommended not to run a space saver on the front, that said 90% of my leaks were on the rear tire.

Recommended by who? Nowhere in the owners manual is that even mentioned.

Or move the good rear to the front and use the spare on the rear. No need for a spacer.

Decided to order a kit from the dealer just to have the new taller cover for a better look. Test fitted a regular donut with the stock cover and don't like how it sits above the floor at the sides. I can see stuff in the back rolling down there and under the cover becoming a pain.

Got the Honda kit today. That's one big box.

Has anyone purchased or find any spare tire for the type r, since I will daily drive this beast any recommendations???

Just buy a full size spare. To many dont like their stock wheels.

Just buy a full size spare.

That won't fit under the rear floor panel.
