My 2009 FR has an odd spare wheel, its neither a space saver or full size spare. The upshot being that the wheel sits high above the boot floor meaning the carpet has a spare wheel shape section in it. This is a ral pain when trying to load up the boot especially with tool boxes etc. Is there such a thing as a space saver and flat boot carpet available that I could get? What size would that space saver be?

Not sure on the size of the space saver as it may depend what size wheels you have, but I would think you could get one off eBay as there's loads on there.

Interested to see what spare you have though if you could pop a picture up?

The spare is a 205/55R16, the standard tyres are 225/40R18.

This lump in the floor makes things really awkward.

Looks like the previous owner has swapped it for the space saver. I'd definitely be on the hunt for a space saver.

The boot carpet is tailored properly to accommodate the bigger tyre, looks factory to me.
