Hi, Hopefully, here is a photo of my IS250C. Boot conversion to use a spare wheel (space saver).
Firstly, remove the entire plastic carrier assembly that holds the pump and tyre latex.
You then need a spare wheel....bought mine from a Main Dealer and it sits snugly in the existing wheel well under the new polished aluminium boot floor shown. You also need the wheel clamp, of course.
Secondly have a local metal working shop make the cover itself. I designed it
and did the drawing myself.
Thirdly buy a transfer off eBay.
Fourthly make a paper template and buy a quality carpet in matching colour from any number of suppliers.
Job done and boy, did it enhance my selling price when I finally parted with the car! Don't fret, I bought another new Lexus!

Hi Dave,
Seem to recall that the 250C has two different size road wheels, so a space saver was best bet....maybe mixing that up ?
Anyway, costs were around, Aluminium cover.....£60
Carpet ......£40
Wheel and tyre.......current dealer price......no idea.
The blue label, not mandatory.......£4.50
These prices are very variable and well out of date.......shop around and be ready to do some work yourself
