Factory big(er) brakes spare tire question
I have a 23 3 TPP with CX-9/Santafe front brakes. They are awesome for this street driver machine. Im working on CX-5 rears this weekend. The stock 3 spare won't clear the cx9 calipers. I tried my wife's cx9 17 inch spare on the 3. It fit over the caliper, but not in the trunk. Also the sidewall is way too tall to fit without risk of rubbing the inner fender.
The internet tells me that a cx5/cx9 spare will work. I know now that the cx9 spare won't work.
Has anybody else switched out their spare to a cx5 with these brake challenges?
