Unfortunately not. I've tried on my 05 EX. I doubt that the other years are any different. The problem is depth - with of the tire.

'07 EX - does 215/70R16 fit in spare tire well?

Purchasing new tires...if it fits, I want to swap the spare "donut" with one of the P215/70R16 tires. Can anyone confirm that it does / does not fit?? I found that earlier Elements does NOT fit but was not sure specifically for '07 EX.

Thanks!

Yes, I agree the Search function is very nice. Thanks also for attaching this "answer" from a 2005 Element...with my inexperience with these cars(?) I was not sure if 2007 fitment was the same as 2006, 2005, 2004, etc.

That's why I posted a new thread specifically inquiring about 2007 EX model...

No changes to the spare tire well in MY 2007, and no need for a new thread.

Will this fit??

One of my wheels is discolored and can't be brought back to the original color so I'm going to order a new wheel.

I'm wondering if a full size wheel will fit in the spare tire area. I just bought this car and haven't looked into the spare tire well yet.

Anyone know if it'll fit?

Nope

Only a small donut fits in the spare tire well.

Has anyone on here done something with their spare tire area other than use it for it's intended purpose? IE, have you modified it and rid yourself of the spare for some reason? I'm in the process of doing so....

A little searching turned up this post; there may be others.

Also I stash the following in my spare well: jack and tire wrench, toolbox; socket set; pump; tow strap; entrenching tool; pair of boots; winter-weight jumpsuit, hat, and gloves; snow-melting kit; blanket; water; MREs; CB radio; jumper cables; and flares.

i was thinking there's no way you can get all that stuff in the well with the spare still there, so i clicked on the image and discovered i was right, as you had relocated the spare to the roof.

thought process: that's a lot of stuff. i don't see the spare. if no spare, why include jack? let's click on the image and find out.
