Spare wheel set info - Pics inside

[carfan]

Hi all of you, For those who asked, here are the pics of the complete spare wheel set as it came with my 997.2 C4S in Guatemala Fellow members have helped me before several times, so here is my contribution:

That's great. How is it secured when you put it in the "frunk" ?

Suncoastric - how do we get this?

carfan - thanks for the photos. As for your original Q, I probably would not daily drive with this in, but for some long trips between major cities, yes - I'd take it along and feel a lot better about it. And if I were in GC heading out into the country, definitely - I doubt you can fall back on 1-800-Porsche for roadside assistance, can you?

Usually I drive without it

But for a longer trip, I would take it with me ! There is road assistance, but you have to share the cost with the local Porsche dealer

Things are different here, but nice !

Looks like a "group buy" is needed here!

do the 997s not come with a spare tire?

They do not. There is a tire plug kit.

I like the idea of having a spare tire.

17"? I'm not sure that will clear the PCCBs.

I was just thinking that, but then I noted the spare set was for a C4S. Are the PCCB brakes actually bigger than the reds?

Me too, on the group buy.

If you have 19's, what do you do then?

I was about to post the pics of my setup but my camera wasn't charged. As soon as I get it charged, I'll take some and post them here. I got the collapsible tire from the 996 C4S, the complete tool kit including the plastic bag to put the flat in it etc. on my trunk. I got it secured by riveting the securing screw from the 996 series cars to the area behind the cover for the goo canister and compressor and made a small hole on that cover to let the screw go through. I got somewhere the receipt with all the part numbers. All I needed was to do a little homework and bought everything from my local Porsche dealer at a 20% discount since I am a regular customer. It's not that difficult at all to source all the parts and have it done. By tomorrow, I'll have the info here for all who want it.
