I have a 2014 Mustang GT Premium Track Pack car going to Roush to become a Stage 2 with the 20" hyperblack wheels. I have found out that the Track Pack and Brembo brake mustangs do not have a spare, but instead have what is called a mobility kit (basically a 12v compressor and a can of slime). I am never going to use the slime on this car. I have found out that Ford offers road side assistance on these cars while under warranty. But, where I live cell service can be sketchy in many locations and a call for help may not always be an option. A spare tire is very important to me, even though I may never use it. Seems that the right rim and tire height are going to be tricky to find because of the Brembo Brakes and the Limited Slip rear-end. Still glad I got the track pack, but looking for a solution if there is one.

So, what are others using for spare tires?

I see that in 2011-2012 Ford offered a spare tire kit, but only with a much smaller diameter tire. It seems that this kit may have been discontinued. Or is the kit still available? Is there a kit available for the larger rims?

What size tire fits in the spare tire well that will work as a spare with the Roush tire setup? I would like the height to be close, don't care about the width.

Can I get a 17" or 18" steel rim to fit over the Brembo brakes, or will it require a specialty rim?

I have found that the tire well is about 27.5 inches across, and 8.5 inches deep. So, the ideal spare tire size likely will not fit into the spare tire well. Is that correct?

 

So no one has a spare on the Roush's with the bigger brakes?

 

my roush has a spare in the normal spot. I will get you the size later and a pic of it

 

Thanks! Does yours have the Brembo or Roush Brakes?

 

It has the Roush 4 caliper brakes in the front and 2 caliper in the back and the rim is a 18"

 

heres a few pics

 

Thanks for the Pic! The Red Rim makes me very curious on what your car looks like...

Could you post the size of your tire and the spare? I could then compare it with what is on mine and see if it will fit.

Thanks again...
