depends on if you got the option for full size or not... I have a donut... wouldn’t ever consider having a full size taking up room and weight - and would never drive far enough on a spare for it to make a difference.

Why do you ask?

i think i have the full size option.
trying to figure out if the rim on it is a regular 7 spoke wheel or just a black ugly thing..
need to replace one tire, but with others worn a bit, just want to put the "bad" one in the trunk and use the "spare" as a replacement.

are you ordering tires online right now or something?... I'm not trying to be a d!ck, but I really dont get it

FWIW, if you do have a full size spare, its just like your others.

I have a 19x8 coupe forged wheel in there for my spare. Nothing else will fit my brakes.

But to answer your Q, my car came with the sport 17's but no full size spare.

i think the moral of the story is: go have a quick peak at what you have. use the elevator if necessary.

you'll get too many answers to your question, none of which will help you since we don't know how your car is optioned. spares came full OR mini size depending on options.

Mine has a full size spare, but i never looked to see if it was a black steel rim or an actual alloy wheel

I looked tonight. I have a 5th rim identical to the OEM rims on the car.

However mine is used..so unsure if it came with the car. The tire on it is well worn.

Yep, I have the same thing in mine, full sized 7 spoke with tire. I am pretty sure mine has never seen any use. I think it's kind of poopy that it is face down though, hopefully it didn't hurt the face at all.

Full size spare

I also have the identical wheel tire combo. Was thinking about swapping it out to replace anohter that has curb rash. I read on this forum they do not come with TPMS but I suppose I can swap it out with the other? Why keep a brand new wheel in the trunk for a SPARE which your not ever likey to need when you can keep one of you beet up ones in there?
