Looking to get a spare tire for the NC. I did some reading and it was mentioned that the spare tire from a RX-7, RX-8, and a Mazda 3 will fit the NC (same lug pattern/clear the brakes).

I also found this thread from another member who acquired a RX-7 (FD) spare tire.

For those of you who opted to throw a spare in the trunk, can you post what year of RX-7, RX-8, or Mazda 3 spare tire you picked up? And or if you know of another spare that will fit?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.
Found a custom made spare tire for the NC Miata.

Anybody have this? ^
Does it fit properly, clear the brakes, etc?
