Lightningracer Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Those that have spare tires, what size is it? Also, does anyone know if the spare will fit on a 2013 SHO w/PP? With all the driving I do, I need to ditch what is in the trunk for an actual tire. Just cant seem to find any info on a spare (donut) that I can purchase. I have a 17" donut for my Mustang that I believe is the same bolt pattern, but have not checked to see if it cleared the brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 the trunk is sofa king big, just buy an oem rim, and get a tire that is the same size, but can be mounted either direction. that will get you to your destination untill you can get the other tire replaced.

SHO Rod Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 The door sticker and owner's manuals should list the applicable spare tire size. I'll have to check my door sticker to make sure it still lists a spare tire size, even though with my PP I only have a compressor and can of flat fix. -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac98SHO Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just remember you have AWD car so your spare needs to close to your other tires so you dont damage AWD unit. I am not sure what Ford has for acceptable variation in tire diameter, though. I would suggest getting a full size spare, if you want a spare tire.

Lightningracer Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Did the first oil change today, so I wanted to check something out. The spare tire I have for my 1987 Mustang GT is a 17" Cobra donut. Both have the same bolt pattern, so they should fit. Well, found out thag the 17" rim will not clear the PP Pkg brakes. Will have to find a bigger wheel. I know people are saying to get a stock 20" wheel to put in there, but I want something that fits under the factory cover, and does not stick up. Search continues.
