09C4S

Does anyone know if i can use a 996 spare tire for my 09 C4S? I have regular brakes not PCCBs. I just don't feel safe driving long distance without at least a spare tire, call me old fashioned.

yes, the orange 16" works on all with red brakes

But do a search within the 997 Forum to see the history of your question. Yes, that spare will fit, but be prepared for step two.

I have the 996/boxter spare in my boot with the jack and tools packed into the rim. The biggest downside so far is not having a trunk anymore to hold stuff. But usually any bags I have end up in the back seat or passenger footwell anyway.

As Dan indicated, the next step is what you guys plan to do with the wheel and tire you remove? I am curious as I have had this conversation with myself a couple of times.

I have the collapsable spare wheel in the front with jack/tools. etc. I also have super heavy duty black plastic bags and latex gloves. My rear fat tire (305/19) fitted behind the passenger seat with no problems.
You still get some room on the front trunk since the collapsable wheel can go vertical instead of leaning...

Thanks for the link. I could change a tire, but I am not sure I am strong enough to get the flat tire on the original wheel through the door opening and into the back seat area without tearing up the upholstery and on top of that I rarely travel long distances with that much unused space in the car.
To the Original Poster....let us know what you decide.
