    I’d stick with procuring the more compact and lighter temp spare: you’re already dealing with makeshift, reducing interior free space, why make it even worse? A temp spare will keep you mobile.

    Yes I believe so. It’s sim to Camry?

    Thank you! Really helpful! Do you think it would be possible to put a full spare underneath where the donut would normally
    go and secure it with straps through the cargo mat? I understand the floor won’t be level due to the height of the tire.

    Thanks for this strapping info as the tire feels very secure now strapped in as recommended, with the Nite Ize 12' CamJam® Tie Down Strap (the 6' may have sufficed too) and thanks to all who shared their spare tire knowledge in buying my OEM or recommended spare tire and wheel. The Nite Ize strap is a dark gray so it may be hard to see in this picture (which is nice it kind of blends in). Being I just became a Prime owner, this is how I will carry a my spare. I still have a tire bag from Modern Spare in transit and once that arrives and I put my spare in that bag, I'll probably add some cardboard on the up side to cover up the "wheel hole", in the MS tire bag, so that I can lay things on top of that "flat cardboard surface" and not break the valve stem. But for now, just showing how I strapped it more the left and back to give me back more cargo area. Later on, I'll also see if I can rearrange my spider cargo thing in a better position.
