Default 15# bottle hidden in the spare?

looking to get a nitrous outlet plate kit in a couple weeks and i'm deciding between a 10# or 15# bottle. I want to hide it in the spare tire area and was wondering if the 15# would fit.

I think a 15lb would fit, it would be tight. My 10lb bottle and 860 Bottle heater fits like the car was made for it to be there.


I think you've got just enough room thinking about it.

There are some pictures out of a guy with dual 10's and another with a 15 in either this section or the vert section. Run a search there.

I've had a 15lb there for years with no problems.

It will fit...

This is using the 860 Spare Tire mount.

It doesn't look like a bottle opener will fit. I barely got mine to fit with a 10#.
