Collapsible spare option?
I was flipping through the 997 info book and Porsche had some wonderful pics of the 997 with a roof rack and cargo carrier and one against a beautiful mountain backdrop.
So I start thinking about how nice it would be to have a spare tire out in the middle of BFE.
Wouldn't the C4S collapsible spare fit the 997 with 18s? What about with 19s?
There seems to be plenty of room up front for the "addition" of a collapsible spare. Porsche should make an optional spare available.
Cheers

Gear and passenger will still fit. Just like in the old VW days of crammin' it in!
The thought of having a blowout in a $100K 997 with no spare is a bit disturbing. With all that engineering, they should have made a spare as an available option.
