Does this thing make the trunk bed level with the opening? Would appreciate it if anyone has a picture of the height of the bed vs the opening with the spare tire kit.

Here's a picture of the new floor after installing the spare tire.

I have my cargo tray set aside for trimming.
Not happy at all with it popping up in the front and riding over the lower edge of the speaker.

Do you think they will clear the brakes? I assume the M3 has big brakes, too

I looked at the price & it doesn't really save you any $$$ from just getting the spare set up from Honda.

Nope.... it really doesn't. It's basically the same price...

I like the jack system better with the ratchet and a rubber contact pad. I also like the bag that holds the entire kit; easy in/out or leave the kit in the garage for my wife to grab and bring to me when I get a flat!

The cheapest 18" wheel and tire from TireRack is $217, plus $35 for a jack on Amazon = $252

Thanks, Jon.
I should have read the whole page: "Enlarged Wheel Brake Caliper Clearance For Use With Large Modern Brake Systems."

The Honda kit doesn't come with the wheel and tire mounted, correct? They're separate?

Correct.

Is that new door jamb sticker supposed to go over the old one, or do you remove the old one and replace? Does the old sticker come off cleanly when removing? If the old sticker breaks apart when removing, then probably better to overlay the new one on top?

Mine is on top the original

I ordered the kit through my local Honda dealer. It totaled $322.85.

Here are a few photos of the install with photos of the standard floor board which doesn’t sit flush with the spare tire and raised floor board which accommodates the additional height of the spare tire. I couldn’t get the right side floor board to fit due to my error or the subwoofer taking up additional space on the right side, but the cargo tray covers up the error.
