Spare Tire Pics

Can someone post a pic of an installed spare tire in the trunk of a second gen Charger?  I'd like to see how exactly a full size (P205/15) spare fits.  Also, will a rear window defroster cause a fit problem?  Seems like there is not enough space for the spare to squeeze in with the defroster ducting in place.  Thanks a bunch.  :2thumbs:

Thanks for the pic, what size tire is that?  Looks like it has a narrow profile like a space saver tire.  Its a bit dark to see, but is the wheel and jack stand both face down?  Appreciate your response.   :yesnod:

This is a F70-14 tire in my trunk now....the largest I was able to fit was a 235/60/15

I have the rear defroster as well but I have it mounted in a non-stock location because I am running 2 6x9 speakers in the rear

I think I'm going to have to remove the defrost vent tube to get the tire in place and then reconnect it.  Thanks for the pics  :2thumbs:

Well I had to turn the rear defrost blower 180 degrees and reroute the hose to fit my P205/15 wheel/tire in place with the 6"x9" speakers.  Barely fits, but I got it in there.  Thanks for the pics and info.  :2thumbs:
