the whole amp sub and box weight is pretty high up there, did a quick check and without the spare tire my zenclosure doesnt fit as nicely because of the dip created from no spare wheel. with the wheel in it fits like a glove. so keeping it in for fitment and for emergencys. after what 3hree5ive0ero said hes right, tow guy has never been one to care about my car nor should he so spare it is till aftermarket bbk and 370 spare tire ( that fits correct? )

^ Yeah, if the 17" spare for the Brembos don't fit, then the 370Z spare tire should fit no problem.


I've had my cars, including the Z, towed a few times before so I was simply speaking from personal experience.

I don't carry mine because it won't fit over the BBK anyway. However, I must give Kudos to ya'll because as much as I hate to admit this, it had never occured to me to get a 370Z spare (especially since I've got Akebonos anyway). I don't have any idea why something so obvious and simple never crossed my mind before. Maybe I party too much, lol.
Thanks guys!!! I'll be scouring the local boneyards for a wrecked 370 to get a spare from this weekend!!
