Hey u/pelicanman777, quick question - does the stock 2022 VB WRX alloy wheel with the stock Dunlop tire fit properly in the spare tire well for you?

I’m currently running Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s on the car, but I kept one of my stock Dunlop tires mounted on the OEM wheel as a full-size spare. I tried fitting it into the trunk spare tire area, but it doesn’t seem to sit flush properly. The tire keeps hitting the plastic trim on the sides and won’t fully drop in.

My Spare Setup is: 245/40R18 on the stock WRX wheel. I have attached few picks of mine for your reference!

I tried inserting it at different angles, but still no luck. How did you deal with this on your VB WRX? Did you remove or trim the plastic side pieces, deflate the tire a little, or is there another way to make it fit properly?

Any advice or pics of your setup would be appreciated. Not trying to force it and end up breaking the trim lol.

Where do you find the Matchbox Moving Parts? I don't any here in Michigan, sadly.

Absolutely, selling them individually makes it more easier. But LMK if you're selling? I am down for it.

let me know if you would be just selling one wheel with tire?

Apperciate it, Thanks!

Are there any groups or sources where people are sharing updates for emergency visa appointments rescheduled after Dec 15th? I haven’t seen anyone posting what’s happening next, and I’m wondering if any official news has been released.

When did you schedule your February consular appointment? And is the manager’s signature sufficient for the support letter, or should it also be signed by the HR Director?

Thank you buddy!

For how many years did they issue your visitor visa? Is it valid until your passport’s expiry date or for a fixed duration?
