Hello, I am a new member. Question on spare tire. Have 2015 with 19" wheels and tires. The only kit I can find on EBay has a 18" tire and wheel that states will fit in the spare tire hold. Could I use this spare for a very short run if necessary? I do not have the larger brakes or the performance package. Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim. While I'm not 100% certain, usually if you don't have an upgraded brake package and only have the larger wheel size, you can use the standard wheel size just fine since they have to accommodate the base wheels. As far as I can see, 18 inch is the standard on anything but the base model V6 and EcoBoost that had 17s. You should be good.
Also, Welcome to the club!

Phil is correct, the 18" spare tire kit available will fit the GT, V6 and EcoBoost cars. As long as you do not have Brembo brake package or the Performance Package you are good to go.

OKay, Thanks guys. Just to be clear. I could run a 18" spare (short distance) with my other 19" tires.

Yeah, you should be fine as long as you aren't running long distances or at higher speeds.
