Yep some brands of 6.5" will fit in no problems, while others (type r being one) will take some modifications to get them to fit properly, by properly i mean a good airtight seal in between the speaker basket and the pod itself. You wont be able to use any type of spacer on top of the original pod, as they door trim wont fit over it correctly.
You have two options for the type r's, one is to modify the original pod enough to get the driver in flush with the plastic, the other is to make some MDF / fibreglass pods up that basically duplicate the original pods but allow a 6.5" speaker to fit. My opinion is the second one, but it is much harder to do, and takes more time ofcourse, also those plastic pods dont do the type r's justice as they arent solid enough to provide good midbass.
