Full Size Spare Location?

Thoughts on where to put a full size spare? Will it fit in the same spot but just fill up the storage compartment?

Ideas on where to get a single compatible 21" wheel?

I suppose for a real road trip I can put it on a roof basket. I do carry a patch kit and compressor if I am lucky/unlucky enough for it to be in the tread.

Thanks!

Dennis.

Fill size Will not fit in there, due to third row folding mechanism and cross member close to the spare.

I was looking for the same and then realized, even if I'm able to fit a bigger tire in there, my back is not going to be happy lifting the heavy setup from the spare wheel well.

To get single tire and wheel, ebay or car junk yard will be a good place to start.
Or find three more like minded people from your area and buy a full set from here.

be careful with the roof weight. If you have the twin panel moonroof the weight capacity is only 75 lbs.

I think a skinny 31 in tire on an 18 or 20in wheel would fit the donut location. The trick will be finding the right size
