Wow after a fun night of running into an RX-8 and showing him a few things about the S2000 I get a flat WTF? The car started to pull hard to the left and I thought DAMN! now what? Well it was a flat. I put the spare on but the rim my cousin had to take it.
I was wondering how come the front rim wouldn't fit in the trunk? Is this a design flaw or was just me that didnt try hard enough? Also the spare is damn FUGLY!!!! Honda needs to work on this things lol. My car looks ghetto now! I'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow.

Thats all folks. I feel better now. NOT REALLY!

if you leave the panel where the spare goes off, the the other tire fits. you have use the trunk and the spare tire area

Brute, did you remove the toolkit with its holder from the well before you tried to put your tire in?

That piece needs to come out and you just put it in where the spare would normally go.

A tire should fit no problem. I had a rear rim with an enormous tire (245/45-16 Hoosier A3S04) in the trunk yesterday with a bunch of other crap.

Thanx Keith I guess I didn't spend enough time trying to figure things out besides it was really dark and I couldn't think right cuz I was really upset, first flat ever after almost 7 years driving and it had to happen in my S2000 Well today I will get the flat fixed and check on that space on the back to fit the tire.

Wow man you are scaring me now. I look at it and it seemed I went over something cuz it has a small hole in it in but no major damage that I noticed at the moment but then again it was dark and I wasn't really looking at everything since I was in a hurry. Anyways I will update on the tire condition and I really hope I won't need to buy a new tire if not I will be using my spare for a while or not using the S2000 at all. Here I come Tercel

Unless it was a blow out a tire patch (from the inside) will run you $5-$15 depending on how nice the store is. Hahaha.
