okay heres mine... remember this is a 18 inch 215/45/18 wheel and in the hole where a space saver used to sit..

ImageImageImage

Note the foam legs stuck to the board.. dealer said remove them and fit better.. hmm still seems on a slope if you did this as wheel is already not flush with grey foam at each side and towards the seat in boot...

last pic is how it sits as is.. Im still not convinced about cutting those three little foam legs off.. the two big white ones clear the wheel fine so they can stay... :roll:

ok you need to put the wheel face down mate to get the nut through and the centre cap off aswell to put the bolt through :-)

yup no centre cap in there already.. and yep when I flipped it face down the white foam legs still wont clear it (as mentioned they didnt give me a longer screw for it..

funny enough they also let me keep the space saver and its screw - which as I said isnt long enough to reuse..

thanks for your help anyways Mitch - im hoping someone has same as me and can show me how theirs looks so i have something to show the dealer and say no you still ordered the wrong boot floor cover..

even with the wheel face down the space saver screw cant reach the body of the car as its too short..

ah well at the 1500 km service I'll bring it up again.. its not majorly noticeable and for now problem keep everything from rolling out as it slopes inwards towards back seats ;-) lol

yeah pic on mitsubishi website seems to show a 16inch wheel as well.. and yeah no foam there - http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/veh ... ccessories

There might be a different kit for the RA and the dealer gave you a kit for an NA? I think the longer bolt is also a separate part that isn't part of the full size spare kit.

Thats right the foam boxes are 2 piece RA as the boot space isn't as big do to the AWD system

Guess no one got the OEM spare wheel though.. Just hoping to reference whats different about mine

With the foam bits there are three pieces around the spare tire dip.. Each of these just dont seem high enough to flatten and level the floor. Mightbhqvevto dig up mybown foam bits to fix it... I'm thinking mitsu didn't expect someone to want a full size spare to fit in there

Cool thanks
Will chase them up
Definately missing those top 3 foam bits, do you also have the longer screw to secure the wheel?

Thanks again.

Mitsu really needs the website to show the difference between the 16 and 18 inch spare tire fit kits, very misleading.

Hi Daniel.. is that a battery relocation kit in your photos in the spare tire tub?

*update on my issue with what now appears to be a foam raiser kit for 16inch wheel for std lancer and not ralliart 18inch - chasing up sales guy who is chasing their predelivery department to ask WTF..
