Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

[Skavatar]

Any drawbacks from doing that mod? Do you hear more rattles (not sure if the foam helps with rattles.) Was it hard to do the mod? I was going to just lay the tire down in the back area on our upcoming road trip. I use the factory wheels, and lugnuts. Will I have any issue if I need to use the spare?

I haven't noticed any additional noise or rattles.

the most difficult part was pushing and folding back the padding, its fairly thick and rigid.

i believe both sets of holes are 5x114.3, the narrower set is aftermarket and the wider set are factory size.

Thanks! I'm still confused with the lugnut thing. If I had a flat, wouldn't I just use the same lugnuts?

Depends what wheels you are running as I said before. The fact they have different nuts available doesn't necessarily mean you need any. I don't know what nuts the spare needs nor what the stock ones are on any particular OE Tesla wheel. Nuts!

yes, you will use whatever lug nuts are on your car.

if you have stock/factory wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the larger/wider holes.

if you have aftermarket wheels, then when you put on the Modern Spare, you would use the smaller/narrower holes.

I wouldn't go quite that far.

I am only aware of 5 styles of nuts but there could be a few more. You wouldn't put the round head ones on a 45° conical or mix conicals of different pitch etc.

I didn't know there's a narrow set of holes and a wide set on the Modern Spare. Are we sure they are the same PCD?

Actually MS has one set of.holes. I did not go as far as looking up what nuts fit it or search back through the.thread to see what wheels and nuts that joker has.
