Will Stock Tire and Wheel from 2005 Subaru Impreza sti Sedan Fit Yakima Spare Tire Carrier

Question:

Will this product work with any kind of wheel types? Or will it only work with spare tires donuts? Silly question i know. All five of my wheels and tires are exactly the same including the spare. Also in the future,i am planning on getting after market wheels. So my plan is to use my factory wheel as a spare. I attached a picture of my Subaru sti to show what the factory wheels look like it if helps. Will order roof rack and basket soon depending if this wheel carrier works for interest.thanks!

Spare Tire Carrier # Y07076 will work with any tire and wheel that is up to 35 inches in diameter. From what I could find the stock tire size on a 2005 Impreza is less than 35 inches in diameter so the carrier will hold the spare.

The compatible baskets are the LoadWarrior, # Y07070, and the MegaWarrior, # Y07080. I checked with Yakima and the new roof rack components (BaseLine towers) are will be available soon. The Q Towers are the old version that is being phased out.
