Default 6th gen accord max..spare tire size

Ok, last night I put my spare tire to use.
I caught a flat near a park thats notorious for hot bitches...........
I stopped right next to a plethora of ho's and decided to change my tire there.

I took out the donut and started laughing because that shit is so small.
It looks like a tire off of a yugo or something.

Im only using that shit for today...It seems like a nail punctured the tire in between the treading. So Ill buy some of that fix a flat shit.

Question: whats the maximum size tire that could fit in my spare wheel well.
Im not about to start using this dinkey wheel any more.
I could put my regular wheels in there but the cardboard starts to stick up etc......I want a wheel that will fit flush in there and wont stick out.

185 width?

the wheel well is designed for a donut size tire only besides you wouldn't want all that weight in there from a full size tire just get it fixed asap and dont worry about it.

yeah im going to get the fix it flat. There seems to be a nail stuck in there the hole doesnt seem that big.
If it continues to leak then I will get it plugged if not then fix it should do it.

Dont put that fix it flat trash in your tire if the nail is in the center tread then you can get it plugged if its on the side tread then you need a new tire

yea serious, dont put that shit in there. just patch it up or plug it, much better, when you take off your tire, all the fix-a-flat stuff will get all over you, messy.

I read the post now. After I put the fix a flat thing in there.
I saw it leaking through like really small bubbles and it sealed it up really good.

Now the tire will be rather off balance because of that junk, fix-a-flat should only be used as a monetary fix, get a new tire.

I wouldn't trust it forever though...to be safe I'd get a new tire.
