I managed to fit a full size spare in the back of my 2012 Hatch, but the hybrids might have a different size

Spare tire well riser removal
! I've puzzled over that thing...what it does and how to remove (for flat seat-deleted floor when 14" mini-spare goes on the front "bumper." )Did you hit a chisel between it and the pan where the spot welds are? Or just wack the riser itself? The holes shown in photos result, w/ no drilling involved?

I would recommend a Chisel...but i didn't have one in my hand so i just whacked and patched after lol. The holes are where the welds where. I didn't drill them out

Spare tire well riser removal
Might work w/ a ball-ish stone in a die grinder working down through just the riser piece at the spot welds. Then should be easy to knock it off and clean up pan w/ no holes?
(prolly easier than removing wheel cover anti-rotate keys on wheels that are never going to see a full cover...my Yaris doesn't have, but circa 1990 Miata and Corolla do.) |

As a quick update, i tracked down a 15inch full size wheel. I think it belonged to an older peugeot. It did it fit in the boot, yey since its not a space saver it atuck a bit higher up than the wheel hole so i lost some luggage space..but space saver wheels i found didn't fit due to hybrid having disc brakes on the rear. http://imgur.com/a/s4TPY

I did notice that the bit you guys had to grind off/remove seemed missing already in mine.

I use a full size spare tire. Bit larger than a dummy tire but if I get a flat I can just throw it on and go with no worries.

Good stuff, but its either the tire size i picked or dunno cos fromwhat ive. Read through other posts no one mentioned losing vertical space when fitting full sizw wheel. That isnt a plus with me, in fact i ended up removing thr parcel shelf
