Check the avalon for pn#s. It has a full size spare.

Rim face up.

I think that is the only thing you need, since your car should have everything else.

 

WTF, why does the US Camry not come with a full-size spare when the Canadian one does? What is the logic behind this? Especially given that even Canadian Camrys are made in the US to begin with...

 

Wow good work!:thumbsup: I wonder if i can fit one of my 18x8 rims with this set up? I wouldn't mind having a full spare of my rims!

Bills07CamLE, I wanted to let you know that the factory rim and tire (215/55R17) fit perfectly with no extra room. So if your 18" tire has the exact diameter as a 215/55R17 or smaller, it will fit. But if it is larger in diameter, it will not fit.

Thanks,
CPS

 

full size spare is good 30lbs heavier than donut,
plus it lifts trunk floor.
around city it probably over kill, but could be good for long trips.

 

I used my donut like maybe once. Sure a full size is good but for something use only once in about 70K miles isn't a big different. But a 30 lbs add will make a different in city driving.

Good to know it only cost $91 to add the option of full size. Of course if you do put in full size you have to buy the extra fifth wheel and tire. And than there is the Radial tire too which is directional. Can it be mix Radial with non Radial tire?

What tires are you looking at or have that aren't radial? Pretty much all tires are radial except for some special applications for at least 20 years.

 

A simple update of original thread would of been good enough instead of a new post. Merged

dcmureviews, thanks for merging my post, I made a new one because I didnt know how to change the main title of my fisrt post. Thanks for fixing it.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but you could buy a new Chevy Cruze. It will come with no spare tire, and no jack. Only a bottle of inflator.

Pretty snazzy. Something tells me the donut will be more reliable.

Pictures are now included!

Just wanted everyone to know that I have included 6 pictures in my first thread of this post. I am trying to keep it all in the same first thread to keep things less complicated.

Installed Pictures

Hello all, I have now completed my full size spare tire conversion and have included installed pictures in my very first post (keeps everything less complicated). Fyi, the floor of the trunk was only raised 1/2", not much at all considering having the peace of mind of a full size spare. Hope this helps all of you.

Tell me what you think!

Great thread CPS. I have not needed this until now.

Backstory: I put 08 Avalon Limited 17" 9 spoke wheels on my 09LEV6 in April 09 with Primacy 215/55/17. Two of the Primacys were down to 4/32" after 65,000 miles (pretty good since I got 8,500 out of my OEM Turanzas). So when mounting the new tires, Discount tire shows me I have a bent rim on the inside (I have no clue how it got bent since it was on the rear axle). It holds air fine but he had to put LOTS of balancing weights on it. Although the car runs smooth, for safety's sake I just ordered a new "refurbished" OEM replacement ($169) so I am going to remount the new tire on the new wheel and put one of the old tires (which I saved) on the old rim and use it as a spare.

Analysis: The diameter of the T155/70/17 donut is 25.5." The OEM 215/60/16 OEM tire was 26.2 inches and the diameter of the 215/55/17 tire is 26.3 inches. I assume the trunk space for the donut is the same for the LE, SE, & XLE and the 17" tire & wheel will fit in the LE trunk. The only obstacle seems to be that the 17 inch SE & Avalon wheels are 7" wide and the 16 inch LE & XLE wheels are only 6.5" wide. Not much diff in diameter.


What really bothers me is the parts.com website describes the part as :
Part Number
<li class="cart-column detail-item">6477006260
BASE, CE, LE, US built, steel spare PARTS

Question: Can anyone think of a reason that CPS's solution won't work for me?

Edit: Another website says this part won't work in my car so I am going to check with dealer ...... I will post back just in case someone else runs into the same issue.

Geez .... I cannot believe there would be a change.to the trunk well mid cycle.

molson.david I believe you put Avalon wheels on your 07 LE ? Did you put a 16" or a 17" wheel as your full sized spare ? In your opinion is it safe to assume my Avalon wheel & tire would work the this fix? Thanks.

[I am headed out for a 2,500 mile round trip drive to southwestern kansas Monday before Thanksgiving and I want to get this done ASAP. Sorry for rambling. Any suggestions would be appreciated.]

 

Awesome! No bulge in the trunk or uneven-ness since it's raises 1/2"? I wonder if we can take our exisiting board, replace the foam and just get the screw.

Is the board the same size and only difference is the foam thickness?

dcemureviews, The new board is actually larger in size to fill more of the trunk space. The foam on the edges of the new board is larger (about 1") and the foam around the center hole of the board is different (white in color) from the old board. I am sure you can pull off the foam on the old board and put larger foam on if you like, but again, the overall size of the new board is larger to cover more surface area of the trunk (seen in the pictures). You will need the new hold down screw because the old one is way to short.

Thanks again,

CPS

 

Great post, CPS. Sorry I'm so late jumping on the bandwagon.

Seems like if I grab a panel cover and hold-down from a 2005-up Avalon, I should have everything I need.

Thanks! Carl

Carl, no problem! Glad to see that this post is still active....hope it helps out!

Good to know. I always hated donut spares too.

 

As long as the spare is a temporary use option the only concerns I'd have are:
....that is be "fresh"...younger than 5 years old...tires age just sitting around...
....that it be the same size/diameter as the others,
....that it be correctly inflated
....that it have decent tread....

I have been running a 5-tire rotation for 15 months (3 rotations) but with 4 new tires going on next month I've decided to use the best/newest of the old 5 as a spare....

 

just want to say, for anyone who finds this as of 2024, 64770-06260 is still valid and 51900-33090 is also, but i bought 51900-33090 from toyotapartsdeal cause the toyota official parts site had multiple images didnt want to risk getting the wrong part
