Spare installed

[type r fanatic]

Is the SI cargo area the same size as the FL5? I would love to buy this if there is no hump in the cargo area, wondering if anyone has tried this setup in a fl5 yet

Lol I just looked at my FL5.. and I'm a dumb ass.

I looked before. There is absolutely zero way you get a spare without a hump.

thats unfortunate, I guess that's why Honda has yet to release a spare tire kit for the fl5. What are people doing for road trips? Just putting a spare trunk and dealing with the reduced cargo space? Or is the tire inflator kit that it comes with good enough? My cars have always come with a spare and ive never had to use the inflation thing

I would rather have a spare than an inflation kit for sure but I'm not too worried about.

However, I will be most comfortable with 18s on the car and a little more sidewall.

There was a post on an old thread
I installed it so I know it fits

Is the Type-R's spare different than other 11th gen Civic's spare? From what I've heard, nothing is a 100% direct fit for the Type-R, it creates a little "hump".

I can’t say for sure with the 11th Gen Type R, but the spare tire kit raised the floorboard and never really sat flush in my 10th Gen Type R. Not to mention the Type R cargo tray was also a bit off.

Just fyi, if you type in the part numbers in any of the HondaPartsNow or other sites, it's cheaper than buying straight from the dealer. Came out to $277 shipped to me in FL.
Edit to include part 06421-T38-A01 has been replaced to 06421-T38-A00.

Now you tell me !!!

 

[TypeRD]

Yeah, I think the Type R spare compartment is shallower due to the exhaust pipe going right underneath there (vs normal Civics). Some convenience is sacrificed for performance, which makes sense.

Now you tell me !!!

Yeah unfortunately I just got an order update and the spare tire [not the kit] is out of stock from Honda.
I'm going to buy that elsewhere.

When I bought the spare for my FK8, it came with a new floor for the hatch to make room. It looks to be the same as the FK7 floor.
Doe the 11 Gen civic hatch come with a spare tire? If so, that floor may fit

Yes, my FK8 spare tire kit also had a raised floor.

Just put my spare tire with kit in today.
Spare kit from HondaPartsNow: $177
Spare tire from Tire Rack: $131
Local tire install: $40 (forgot to give them my tire stem so paid for that).
Tire is 125/80-17.
Thanks to OP for answering questions I had!

I got my spare tire with the tire iron and jack for $227 last year off of Ebay. I'm looking for the gas spout that you all got which I don't have.
