Default Able to mount full size spare in trunk?
New to the ES350 scene, tried to serach threads but I cannot find the answer.. Have a 2022 Lexus ES350 F Sport, are we able to fit a full size spare in the trunk? Don't want to have the donut in the trunk, would rather get a full size spare so I don't have to worry about it on the road when replacing it.

I have one in my trunk now.If you have a flat on the road the manual tells you to put the tire in the trunk where the spare sits and bolt it down.

Yes, the full size 18 inch tire fits perfectly but without the foam pad.

Easy to find out... Take one of your tires off and try putting it in the trunk and see what has to be removed or modified - if anything.

BC is right when he says "Easy to find out... Take one of your tires off and try putting it in the trunk and see what has to be removed or modified - if anything," but wouldn't it be faster and easier to use a tape measure?

That's great that it fits so when I get my bimonthly flat I can throw it in the trunk to get repaired and switch them back when I get another flat.

18" and 19" has the same diameter/size so it will fit.

It's been so long since my flat but I think I remember the mat not laying flat. May be wrong so someone that has this does it lay flat with no bulge.
