08 Outlander - replace space-saver spare
#12
The full-size wheel will stick out more under the rear bumper but at least with a tow hitch fitted it should actually hide most of it.
Should be able to pickup the car on Friday so will post photos if people are interested.

The tire sits much lower indeed. What size is it the 16inch 215 or the 18inch 225 ? For the hitch first time I see it install that way mine sits just under the bumper because of the spare tire.

Good to know a fullsize spare can fit underneath, i will look at that before i go out of town next
One thing I did on the weekend was make a cut-out in the foam insert that sits under the boot floor. The towball tongue, when placed on its side, was too tall to fit on top of the insert. So I made a nice cut-out to fit it in there snugly, which also stops it sliding around.
