I'm getting rids of the big chunk of foam, and adding a spare tire. There are plenty of wrecked cars with the 5x114.3mm lug spacing. I'll go to a bone yard and get the spare, jack, and lug wrench.

I swapped my open diff for a factory LSD pumpkin.

If the donut and the other rear tire are different sizes, and are rotating at different speeds, am I going to blow up my LSD?

(I'll be running staggered tires soon; they'll be the same diameter, but the Sport has the different offset btw front and rear wheels...)

This is the size l used on my space saver to match my 275/35/19 rear.
