umm..worse come to worse, you could call a wheel lift tow truck and they could just lift you up and change the tire....the best bet would be to use the new style wheellift (it's easier, but i heard there's a greater chance of damage since the car can slide off if it's put into neutral ..and u really should have it in neutral when towing to avoid tranny probs, but it's very unlikely)..the new style the tow truck just backs up to the car and the driver lets down the cradle like part that the tires go onto. from there, insted of the old style that the driver needs to get out and secure the bolts and everything, the tow truck automatically secures it. it's hard to explain, but it's really awesome to watch and takes about 25secs to hookup your car instead of 5mins.
this way, if you have a flat on the back, they'll lift the front, flat on the front, they can lift the back. of course if you had to tow it they'l have to lift the front cause it's FWD.
hey, octane...i'm sure they could just flatbed the car if you needed to be towed. the sucky part about aftermarket upgrades is that sometimes tow trucks can't avoid damaging the car, but as long as they don't mess up, it's usually minor, (like if you're car is really really low, they may scrape a little putting it up on the flatbed..if they tried to wheellift it tho, you're bumper probably wouldn't make it to the the tow to location w/ the rest of the car
