Trunk pieces.. Different for a base and a sport?
 

I just got a Sport Spare tire be because i installed a BBK and when swapping it out with my Base spare, the foam trunk pieces don't fit with the sport spare... The trunk mat doesn't sit flush anymore and is now slightly lifted...

Makes sense, the whole point of the sport package spare tire is to have a different offset, so the middle piece will have to be shorter. Shave the foam down

Sounds like you need to spin the disk down further under the foam maybe? That spindle is what regulates the height of the carpet and such.

What disk are you talking about?

The spindle thing. Only 1 thing screws down. Is it all the way down? Its under the foam cone looking thing.

Oh that's another issue. The screw doesn't reach the threads...

Somewhat OT. I just got my roadster in May so I haven't thought much about a spare. Is the spare a full-size tire and wheel or the little doughnut? All I have now is the can of squirtum.

It's a doughnut

donut or doughnut?

Well doughnut is the correct way till someone got lazy 100 years ago and started using donut for the food. Seeing how cars started using spares less then 100 years ago, we Americans started using the shorter term donut because we're so lazy. But since a spare is not a food it could be donut. Both were originally meant in there beginning for the food so both are technically wrong. Since doughnut was here first, and meant for food, I guess donut makes the most sence to use for the spare tire.

All kidding aside, I'm curious if the foam cone for the sport is shorter than the cone for the base...

You tell us, you got the items in front of you. Pics help

I only have the base non-sport foam pieces. I'm not sure how I could compare it with sport foam pieces if I don't have them, hence the reason why I started this thread in the first place! I'm asking to see if others who have upgraded their non-sport spare tire to a sport spare tire have had the same issue!

You don't need to compare, if they don't fit, they don't fit. Again pics help! We have eyes to see your **** and can tell you whats different.
