Need a Spare Tire
When I bought my ZHP 2 months ago the spare was missing. I've been meaning to get one but was wondering where I should look?
I'm sure I can get one from the dealership but it's probably a rip off. Besides a local salvage yard do you guys have any other recommendations? Also, I think our spare space in the trunk is pretty small, you can't fit a full size tire in there right?

You can fit a full-sized spare I forgot who tried it for us

You can definitely fit a front back there (18x8). Not sure about a rear. The person who tried it had an 8" wheel back there.

What size is the stock spare that comes with the car? Is it a donut? My trusty E30 has a full-size.
Also, wouldn't running a front tire on the back of the ZHP affect and possibly harm the differential?

I don't know about harming the diff. I don't think so.
But with tire sizes not matching would that make a difference?
Come to think of it, probably not. The spare that came with the car
is a "one size fits all" kind of thing.
I guess you are ok in a pinch until you get the tires back to normal on all four corners.

A donut comes on our car. An 18x8 will fit. Running front on rear won't hurt diff.

I use the 17" BMW steel wheel with a 225x45x17.
It fits flush in the trunk without having to change the cover and is the same size tire as my snows. Plus its like $100 for the wheel and I grabbed a cheap used tire for it.
