Will Standard Wheel Fit in Spare spot?

The answer is: NO

It has been asked in the past, not sure if answered. I answered it today while rotating my tires.

And the standard wheel/tire weighs 33lbs, just by the way.

I thought it did. You just have to flip the fastener.

Agreed, although the floor will ride higher and will be unstable.

Depends on your definition of "fit".

OK, I guess I need to be more specific. The standard-sized tire mounted on the standard wheel will of course fit in the trunk; however, it will not fit in the well for the mini-spare with the trunk floor/tire cover flat. Not even close.
