Spare tire in 450H Trunk
Hello fellow GS members,
Currently picked up a 450H and am not feeling the run flats. I am currently planning what next set of tires. Could anyone comment/confirm if a spare tire would fit in our trunks standing/sitting up?
I'm willing to sacrifice some trunk space to have a spare in for back-up. All this to get rid of run-flat tires
The GS has AFS & ML underneath.

if you have run flat then you most likely have a active stabilizer system on your car (same as mine)
i change it back to regular tire and throw a bottle of fix a flat just in case. so far knock on wood my daily driving isn't affected

I'm aware of the AS system,
I prefer to have a spare tire in case of emergencies, I do not want to use any fix a flat can. Could anyone confirm if a spare can fit sitting up-right?

You own the car, right? Can't you measure the dimensions?
My GS450h has run-flats, but it also has a spare, albeit not a full-size one. I could probably replace it with a full-size spare (laying down), but then the trunk liner isn't going to lie flush. I don't think there's enough room to fit a spare standing up and still close the trunk.

Provide me the dimension to the spare tire
