Message	I took my spare wheel/tire and jack out of my Z... weighed in at 30lbs. Kind of risky maybe, but I never had a spare in my MR2 and had no problems (my stereo took up the spot). I was just wondering how many other people did this to shed some weight and if you guys think it is worth the risk? Also, is it maybe good to have that weight there for traction?
