Spare Wheel Storage

The overall diameter and width of our spare tire are listed on our website. It’s important to measure your vehicle’s wheel well before purchasing to ensure that our spare tire fits. We cannot guarantee it will fit your specific wheel well, as insufficient data is available on popular websites.
Since many newer vehicles do not have wheel wells, we provide a premium spare wheel carrying bag with handles for storing the EZ Spare in your vehicle’s trunk area.

  • Check for Existing Spare Storage Space: Some vehicles still have a spare tire compartment. If your car has this space and the EZ Spare Wheel fits, it’s a great option for secure storage. In these cases, you may not need the optional carrying case.
  • For Cars Without Spare Tire Space: The EZ Spare Wheel has a specially designed carrying bag if your vehicle lacks a spare tire compartment. This bag can hold the entire spare tire kit while occupying minimal trunk or cargo space.
  • Compact and Low-Profile Design: When stored flat in its carrying bag, the EZ Spare Wheel measures just 4.9 to 6 inches tall, depending on your desired wheel size. This compact design makes storing in your trunk or rear cargo area easy without taking up too much space.
Storage options for the EZ Spare Wheel depend on your vehicle’s make, model, and year.

  • Vehicles with Dedicated Spare Tire Storage Space
    Some vehicles feature a designated compartment or wheel well beneath the rear cargo floor in the trunk for storing a spare tire.
    EZ Spare Fit: If your vehicle has this space, please note we cannot guarantee a proper fit. We always recommend measuring the area before storing your EZ Spare there.
    You may need to remove any foam inserts or organizers placed in the storage compartment by the carmaker.
  • Vehicles with a Storage Space That’s Too Small
    Some vehicles have a compartment that could store a spare, but the space may be too small for a properly sized EZ Spare Wheel.
    Solution: We recommend using the optional EZ Spare carrying bag for these vehicles. This compact bag keeps your spare kit neatly stored in the main trunk area without taking up much space.
  • Vehicles Without Dedicated Spare Tire Storage Space
    Many modern cars don’t include any compartment for spare tires.
    Solution: The EZ Spare Wheel can be stored in the main cargo or trunk area using our carrying bag. This bag ensures the EZ spare kit remains organized and compact, leaving plenty of room for your belongings.
