Spare Tire Kit

[buffypantera]

I was gonna ask the same thing Josh25 brought up.

Modern Spare kits are a little pricy, but it's all there - plug and play.

I'm hoping for a sale this Labor Day, but would also like to know if anyone here has bought one yet.

Just wondering if you test fitted this spare to your DE5 because when I search that part number for the spare it appears to be for 5x114 Hondas/Acuras.

Did test fit. That rim is 5x120 bolt pattern.

I bought a compact spare from EZ Spare Wheel, and it works fine. The first one they sent did not fit because they didn't have the correct bolt pattern for the Type S in their system. They sent a 5X114, and 5X120 is correct. The OE lug nuts will probably be incorrect for most after-market spare wheels (ball vs conical base). I have straps to secure it in the car, but I don't use it around town as it and the jack kit do take up a fair amount of space. But it will give some peace of mind for trips.

Yeah my thing is, I want it to fit under the cover. Looks like the BMW one is the only way to get it flush.

That would be ideal, but I trust the straps to secure the spare, and it also provides a perfect space to fit the jack kit under the strap. I could have gone with a smaller wheel, with the plan to use the spare only on the rear. But when I think of all the possible scenarios for changing a tire, I don't want to have to switch front-to-rear, too much time for something undesirable to happen.
