Anyone know source for spare tire ? (997.2)
likely will remove rear seats for now, and would like to have the option of a spare.

I use an old Boxster spare tire and tool kit from I got from a local junkyard. I asked them to be on the lookout for any Boxsters with spare tires and they called me within a week. Also seen them on eBay and Craigslist. Shouldn't have to pay more than $150 for the set. Search is your friend as far as model numbers.

Definitely eBay. For $125 shipped or so I got the spare with all the tools. Boxster and 996 models will work if you have non pccb rotors from my search.
