Optimizing Spare Tire Space

[STdaddy]

Anyone find a good use for the space freed up when the spare is removed? Here's one idea....

Hahah good stuff,are all you guys riding without your spare? I just can't do it being that I commute a lot (mon-fri) on the garden state parkway and jersey turnpike doing 80mph with debri all over the road from trucks and who knows what.

Thanks. Great beer and I am lucky enough to live close to the source. Too bad it has become so popular...and crowded.

So is the reason for the larger ST spare tire (over the standard Fiesta) because of the larger brakes? I'm wondering if the compact spare (non ST) would fit on the rear of the ST? If so, seems like if you got a flat on the front you could jack up one side, move the good 17" rear to the front and put the compact spare on the rear. Just thinking of ways to maximize the space back there by running a non-ST compact spare.

Also thinking that one could make a custom fiberglass/carbon fiber tray that form-fits over the standard ST spare. Maybe some 1/2" foam or rubber adhered to the bottom and auto carpet on top.
