You can definitely fit everything in the spare tire well if you want. Just make sure you go with a 3 - 4 gallon tank.. My tank is a 24" long seamless tank from Suspension Specialties and it fits perfectly in the spare tire well along with the compressor and main control unit. I also just bought a second compressor and plan to install that one in the spare tire well as well.

This is awesome, thank you for the info, is that a 4 gallon or 3 gallon tank? This is exactly what I want to do. Going dual compressors as well. Also how’s this hold up in the heat with the compressors being trapped in there? I live in the northeast and we get some gnarly weather changes
Thanks, man. The 24" air tank is "labeled" as a 4 gallon, but I believe the actual capacity is around 3.5 gallon. It's been fine for my needs and if I'm not changing ride height very often then the compressor typically only needs to run about once a week. I should have my second compressor installed by Christmas so I will let you know how that all turns out.
I live in SoCal and haven't had any issues with the compressor overheating or even getting hot. We even had a period of about 2 to 3 straight weeks of 100°+ weather this Summer and I never had any issues with the compressor even with the compressor running non-stop for several minutes while I was lowering and lifting the car several times in a row.

Winter has arrived in Rochester. Snow and ice are everywhere, temps in the teens.
Snow tires notwithstanding, I don't really want to drive my G in this.
However, we have this car intended for my 17 year old, but she still hasn't got her license yet, and it's just this third car sitting there with snow tires on it. So I've been driving this car when necessary, instead of the Infiniti. It's a comfortable, reliable 2013 Nissan Sentra, with only 27k miles on it. And while I feel appreciative of having the option of driving this in bad weather... it's really a crappy little car. Everything about it is as unimpressive as any car can be, while still being fully functional. I genuinely hate driving it. Turns the act of driving into a dull event where I just need to get where I'm going.

TRUTH!!
Top Gear (the REAL one, with Clarkson, May and Hammond) named the Nissan Sunny (Sentra) the most boring car in the world... lol!
I can understand your pain @Rochester

My Civic would be OK with about 2x the horsepower and an LSD. Its chassis is way more playful and the steering is awesome compared to the G. But all that is irrelevant any time I mat the pedal. Civic feels dangerously slow and overstressed.

You are not far from me... come see.
The G weighs 1000lb more than the Civic. How much more fun would the G be if it weighed 4700lbs? I like the G but it's not perfect. FM chassis steering sucks, it was the same story in my Z.

You should ditch your all season tires for some sticky summer rubber
