Any attempt to secure the spare to the flimsy masonite cover or to rely on the seat back is BOGUS. That's why those steel loops are provided in the trunk. |

You can get straps with come-along type buckles at any auto supply store. You don't need one with hooks. Just route through one trunk loop, then through wheel spokes to the other loop, and return through spokes back to the buckle. And FOR GOD"S SAKE don't use an elastic rubber tie down. Here's a link to a 900 lbs. test strap, which will secure the wheel in a collision. In a 10g collision, your wheel weighs 600 lbs. https://www.autozone.com/tie-downs-a...rap/207487_0_0 |

Avoid using the GOOP aerosol stuff.
Get a tire-plug kit. Reinflate plugged flat tire with electric pump. Will solve majority of road-hazard-related flat-tire situations. If you are concerned about not being able to find the puncture, carry a tiny bottle of dish-soap to mix with a bottle of drinking water. Use soapy solution to find puncture, and repair with plug kit. |

Who looking for a spare wheel, can use 5" BMW spare.
Without, spacers, without problems- front, rear and trunk. |

Does the trunk floor sit flat with that?

Y'all will need to ensure the same rolling ride height for the rear or you'll wind up the diff and cause damage. Should be OK for front (and you can always stick a steer tyre on the driven axle)

Yes of course. If the rear wheel is damaged, the front wheel must be rear and instead of the front wheel use spare.
