So now I need to find the best place to buy the full size tire and rim as well as the jack and reasonable wrench/Iron. Any suggestions??
I was told by the service department that I may be able to get away with getting a 19inch rim and tire even though i have all 20inch tires on my 2SS now.... since its just temporary anyway. What do you think about that? I figured it would be a bit smaller and easier to fit in the trunk as well(slightly anyway).

Again it's your car its your life. I personally wouldn't risk the "short" drive to a service station with only hand tightened lug nuts. You *can* get away with a 19" wheel, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you send a PM to SUX2BU he can tell you his set up. I believe he got a complete spare tire kit for his SS for around $180 ish.
