Can I fit a style 5 17-inch on the spare tire bin? I'm picking up a set, the trunk can posible fit two, three if I can remove the spare and fit one in there. Anyone tried this before?

Hm, I'm not really understanding your question.

Can you fit a style 5 in the spare "hole"? Yes since the overall diameter of wheel/tire will be the same as the stocker.

Can you fit a set of style 5s in the trunk? Probably not ... I've managed to squeeze a set of bottlecaps in there before, but that's a 7 inch wide wheel with 205s.

In the spare hole of the car, yes that's what I meant. What about width?

You'll need to find a spacer pad that came in M5's and some other cars to raise the carpet up about an inch or so.

I fit one of my 18x8.5s in the spare tire well no problem. it was flat so the 255 was notnot a factor, but it did fit no problem.
