    Two Things

    1) Where was the wheel/tire ordered from? And the bag with it?



    2) I also remember seeing the illuminated door sills. Anybody with pictures of this? Can this be retrofitted?

    Sorry, tried searching but couldn't find either thread

    Thanks guys!

    Re: Two Things

    Will the tire not fit in the front trunk instead of the back seat?

    Re: Two Things

    I believe it's not a good idea to keep spare in the back seat over the long term. Depending on the tire compound (?) It will probably stink of rubber for a loooong time.

    The 996 compact collapsible spare fits in trunk no problem.

    A 18 or 19 FLAT will just barely slip past seats to fit in back inside car.

    The Boxster 986 spare will fit the 997S suspension/brakes,it has a mere 3mm clearance from calipers. BUT will have to be deflated fully to fit upright in trunk. Will fit fully inflated if you slant it. (not talking about collapsible 996 spare here).

    MMD, IIRC you got the space saver 997 spare for the front trunk, what did you end up paying in total for your spare kit..jack included, dealer?

    Sorry but the tire can't be that big. Caring a spare tire in the back seat of your car. Wow.

    us$1K. Tire's like $700, frickin jack is $180! Nicely machined though. dealer's good. Get lug wrench from Griotsgarage.com, $15 good deal.

    I believe (?) that photo is from Isreel or Bulgaria, countries which REQUIRE cars to be sold with spares. I guess that's the ONLY way to properly secure it and legally sell the car. I also believe that's a BOXSTER (986) spare; which will fit on our cars.

    Yes, no problem, they ARE 996 parts, but everybody is using them for the 997s. They are "officially" endorsed for use in our cars even by the PCA.

    good info, thanks.
