Default Spare tire

Have a tire tool kit fixer in my car. How can I put
a full size spare in trunk when one tire set one size
and the other sire different size? Would a donut
be only solution and would. Holes match??

It is a staggered setup so spare will not work since the size and circumference is so different front and back unless you get the little donut like wheel just to drive it to the tire shop.

A spare tire doesn't have to be a replacement tire. If you want a full sized tire for a spare, just get a steel wheel in size 19X9 that will clear the front calipers and find either a used or inexpensive tire in size 255/35/19 and that will work fine - front or rear until you get to a tire shop.

I purchased a full size 19x8.5 wheel and 255/35/19 from Discount Tire Direct.

Default OEM Spare

I did the oem full size spare with a front rim as the full size spare. I also bought the F cover for it.
