Beware of idiots
I have a tracking number already. So, is a spacer needed to fit the CFTP?

The spare itself should mount on to the wheel hub the same as it would a Base. However because of the longer studs on the CFTP, I would think you need a spacer to use stock lug nuts or open ended lug nuts without the spacer. Is my guess.What do you think the difference is with the spare for the CFTP cars? Style?
Makes sense, So I reversed it, thanks for clearing it up.I believe that is backwards. The CFTP wheel has a thicker hub which requires longer studs. So a base wheel will fit on a CFTP but you’ll need open ended lug nuts. The carbon wheel won’t mount up to a base hub due to the hub thickness preventing appropriate thread engagement on the studs.
Is the spacer required for the base car or the CFTP? Do they supply this spacer in any of the configurations listed on the website? There is no mention of it anywhere.As per my conversation with Travis:
There is a small quarter inch spacer required if running the spare on the front of the vehicle. The CFTP models do come with open ends lug nuts as well.
They provide the spacer it comes with everything you need in both setups, Base or CFTP. The spacer is for the front wheels.Is the spacer required for the base car or the CFTP? Do they supply this spacer in any of the configurations listed on the website? There is no mention of it anywhere.
Concur on all points. Mine wouldn’t fit in the well unless nearly deflated. Even sprayed the well with silicone to help after conversing with AA.From my experience with the AA Spare for the 350R if you put more than 32 PSI in
the tire it will not fit in the wheel well. IMO, AA makes a great product.
Well..... does it fit in the trunk wheel well inflated?Tire Delivered, I purchased just the tire and rim w/ spacer included and a tiny screw which I have to find out what its for. Base does not come with open lugnuts and uses OEM lugnuts, CFTP comes with open lugnuts.
I wont be testing this until April, since mine is in hibernation at a neighbors garage, but I'm sure you will test it, Mine came 32psi shipped, i was told it should be inflated to 60psi for use.Well..... does it fit in the trunk wheel well inflated?
Mine is waiting for me at home. Ill be home tonight. I won't test the fit until tomorrow.
Travis just let me know the little screw is a threaded extender for the hold down rod to secure it completely down.Please let us know what the tiny screw is for.
The fit man, the fit. On the trunk that is.I wont be testing this until April, since mine is in hibernation at a neighbors garage, but I'm sure you will test it, Mine came 32psi shipped, i was told it should be inflated to 60psi for use.

As per his email:
"That is a threaded extender for your hold down rod. The threaded extender for your hold down rod to secure the spare in the trunk wheel well. If you do not get the tire all the way down in the wheel well your hold down rod can have a hard time reaching the bottom. Not all customers have an issue but can be used if this is the case."
I kept my hold down rod from my '16 CS along with my jack and lug wrench, but now I know incase I needed.
