it will, but you will have to deflate the tire until it fits, so don't toss the emergency air compressor. because of the width it will sit almost 2 inches higher than the trunk floor, so there will be a slight hump when you cover it up. i bought an emergency jack and tools from ebay and the anchor is too short because it was meant for much narrower emergency spare, so i had to modify it with a chain link to make it work.

I tried it last night, and as the previous post states it fits, but tightly. I did not have to deflate mine to get it to go, but it was very snug & a few punches were needed to force it home. Getting it back out also required some wrestling from my old-man frame. Hey--at least it won't rattle!

the reason i decided to make the hook work was because i went over a bad railroad crossing and i heard it bounce out of the wheelwell, pulled over and sure enough it was sitting crooked. or maybe i should inflate it back up again so that it's tight again in the well.
oh, and use a piece of carpet or something to cover the face of the wheel. i did not and now the wood panel for the carpeted floor has made a worn spot on one of the spokes. fail.
