[urq] SQ spare tire/wheel

[audijim at comcast.net]

That's a good point Steve. Uncle Bob was telling me that as well. I guess what I really want to do is mount a full size spare in the trunk weather it be vertical, horizontal or at an angle. I still think I can utilize the SQ mounting parts. I will run a test fit and see what happens.
