There are so many tubes going into that box that I doubt that it is simply a charcoal canister.
Still, I would like to have a solution. All we need is one brave soul to give it a try!

The black box is a charcoal filter for gas fumes. It can be moved without freaking out the computer (ecu). You can put it anywhere in or outside of the car. It has to be rewired and replumbed without any air leaks or pinched hoses. The ecu monitors this black box constantly, so if you remove it you will have the check engine light on. If you move it do not start the car until you hook it back up. The check engine light may come on and have to be reset if the car is started up without the box hooked up correctly. If you remove it be careful to install it correctly. I found this out from my Scion Mechanic here at the dealership. I hope this information is helpful.

I choose to use a full size spare (195/50/15) and show it off, also I utilized the area beneath it to add additional airspace to my sub enclosure. Below is a link to the mock up I am doing, I almost have the fiberglass tire cover finished that will show about 1” of rubber and the whole rim…

Either get a roof rack and toss it on top or wait for AAA...

You are right...it doesn't sound feasible.

if you have a roof rack, go out and buy a full size spare and throw it on the top... kinda 4x4ing trick, when you dont have space, throw it on the roof... tires, water, gas, jacks, gear, ramps, tools, everything goes on the roof, and bungie/tie down galore
