Apparently big diff + much power are the reason why there is no spare wheel well in the car. To do with the chassis subframe to hold the diff in place.

Yup, 9 1/2" diff IIRC. If you look through the inspection hatch in the boot (bit tricky to get off first time) you can see there is no room for the wheel well smile

Is it sized for front or rear though?

Don't forget you have the tyre foam and compressor in boot under carpet even though have spare wheel, so take out wheel for big boot space..

Yup, I don't have a spare myself. Plus the compressor is really quite good on its own

It's a black front size that can fit rear also, I didn't see a compressor under carpet, where abouts is it in the boot ?

You might not have got it due to having the spare.
