Hi,

What is the correct size of a spare tire for ZHP? Will this one by ECS tuning work?

Thank you,

ECS Tuning says it will work, but my coupe came with a 125/80-17 space-saver spare. It's cheaper to put your own together:

Thank you John for the links! Any idea if a ZHP sedan uses the same spare tire specs as the coupe?

Any sedan owners out there :)? Should I go with 135/80/17, or 125/80/17 for the tire? Thank you!

ZHPs came with the same Style 135 wheels, but hopefully a sedan owner will chime in.

Full size rear will not fit, only a front

OK, I have the answer, and it is the same size for coupe and sedan: 125/80/17 (the tire specs are on the driver door seal). Thanks everybody for chiming in!

My sedan came with a 205/50r17 spare but it's not a ZHP.
