with a full-size spare in the trunk, you wouldn't be able to put too much else back there. besides... having an SS, you have two different wheel/tire widths. if you're wanting to carry a real spare 'just in case', wouldn't you need one of each size?

Excellent point. One that escaped my thought process before. Thanks. That pretty much closes the case for me. I guess the tire sealant will just have to do.

So I'm curious. Do we know the dimensions of the space for the spare? For that matter, do we know the dimensions of the trunk or just its volume?

I'm wondering because I'm not planning on racing my SS or anything. Just want something fast and the lack of a spare seems kind of weird to me. Yes, I know why they're doing it, but I'm wondering how practical it would/wouldn't be to carry a full size spare if I feel like I need it for a trip to be safe.

So for that matter, do we know the dimensions/weight of the 20" wheel + tire?
A real spare tire is optional from the factory.
