I was able to retrofit a spare wheel with jack and took kit from an older Boxster (986) into my 2007 Cayman (987.1). Clears front lid without touching.  Takes up some of the space but I prefer spare and regular tires as opposed to run flat tires.

Is this the skinny inflated tire?  I thought they were too tall to close the hood properly?   And that the collapsed tire (that needed to be inflated) was a better choice.  Can you report on the total diameter of this spare?  Thanks.

It helps to carry a large trash bag to put it in since it needs to go in the passenger compartment.  Thats what I had in my Boxster.  There's a guy at the Cayman Register that showed a rather inelegant mounting on the engine cover/rear trunk with the decklid secured with bungi-cords.  Works for short distances when you have a passenger.    I guess its "any port in a storm"!

Or in the passenger’s lap?

 

Thanks. I’m in the market and the spare tire issue has nagged at me a bit.
