Ok so ive decided to part my VRX rims keeping 1 for myself.
But how do i make it fit in the boot where the space saver is, any kits or something for this?

Yes, the spare wheel kit from the dealer.. I think it will set u back about $150-200. I assume you have the sedan?

Are you talking about the boot floor lift kit? We got quoted ~140 for it fitted from a dealer.
...and from their description it seemed that by fitted they meant "stick some polystyrene under the existing floor to raise it".

Yes, a full spare will fit but you will need to add some foam supports to raise the boot up for it.

Just buy all the materials from the dealer.
Fit it yourself, it is not difficult, as all the screw points are already there, and the kit should have those screws included for it (4 or 6, i can't remember). No sticking needed. It's just a matter of putting the 3 pieces of foam together and screwing it to the car

I'll resurrect this for a reason, I have got the full size 18 inch spare wheel, and apparent fit kit for it, seems to still not fit... Floor not flat...plus the screw for the space saver that came in the ralliart is too short obviously for the wider tyre.
Anyone got this fitted in ralliart and got a pic to show me how theirs fits to compare?
