Just wondering if anyone knows who (what car company, etc) makes the largest 4x114.3 spare tire. I know that not many people use 4x114.3 to begin with, so im thinking its gotta be another Honda, maybe the Accord??

why do you whant the larget you dont have room in a 4g trunk for one bigger, or are you talking about width.

i know the spare tire silver holder-downer has one side that says "use for compact" and then one side that says "use for full" size spare tire or something like that

im refering to overall diameter larger...since im on 16's, it'd be nice to have a spare in the same size....ive never considered if there was room or not, but it appears as if it would fit ok...

you know accords (4cyl) are same bolt pattern

so you probably could use an accord steelie(which is bigger than ours). 16'' spare rims are probably hard to come by.

and i probably don't have to remind you, but having aftermarket rims, you keep a spare set of oem lugnuts in the trunk

that way if you really do need to use your spare, you have lugnuts for it

you know i have never thought of that lol
i need to steel some from work now lol

why woudl you whant to have a 16" rim for your spare they look like ass anyway and your not suposed to go over 50 mph on a doughnut so its not like you would need the better handleing you coner hard and it would probly pop off the rim.

i kno...its not for looks...its in case i might need it...that way im the same size all the way around, even on the spare....

btw, lets say u have a flat in the front...shouldnt you take a good wheel from the rear and transfer that to the front, then put the spare in the back??

just put a stocky 15" w/ tire in there for your spare and call it good. w/ 16's or 17's the tires should be lower profile so the overall diameter should be the same....and then you can go faster than 50 and it'll look a little better.

if I had a blowout on the front (or when I did) I did take the time to take a good wheel/tire off the back and move it to the front and put the doughnut on the back.

Yeah you do, you can fit a stock wheel with a stock tire in there. Flip the cone thing upside down and screw it on. You just can't put the trunk floor back over it. If you have a tire that's bigger than stock diameter though... then you got other problems to deal with first.

I agree with always putting the donut in back.

When I go on a long trip or go to a track day, I usually put a full-size spare in back so I won't be f\/cked if I get a flat.
