Got my spare tire kit in.

Got it from auto authority. It’s nice, quality kit with tire and wheel, jack, spacer, lugnuts and wrench. Fits right in the trunk wheel well. I suppose I should keep the foam piece that was there, as 30 years from now at a Car show points might be deducted from a judge that says it’s not original without it.

I emailed them to ask when/if they expect to restock the GT350R kit: short answer was that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon as the place they were using to make the spacers went out of business due to covid shutdown. Guess I could order the 350 kit and buy a spacer...

The spacer is really nice piece of milled aluminum. It says only to use it on the front wheel. It’s pretty thick. The kit came with lugnuts too.

DCSHELBY: I just received my spare tire from Auto Authority too. Were you able to get the tire to sit completely flat in the wheel well with the jack under it? Also did you cut out the felt under the floor panel like they recommended? I didnt cut mine out and Im noticing my floor panel isn't sitting flush. Just wondering how you went about it.

Hi
No it’s not quite flat. The instructions say to lower the pressure in the tire to about 12 psi, to shrink it some. I think if you do that (I did not) it should be flat, the cover that it. I used some left over dynamatt I had in the wheelwell and not the felt.
