Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
A friend of mine with a BMW X1 mentioned,
they don't have a spare.
But they have Run-Flat tires,
Not sure how long they would last.
He went to Bridgestone to get a replacement as the area between the tread and side wall was punctured,
and he almost had a heart attack of the cost of an exact replacement tire.

My Motorsport Edition has a spare “temporary use” wheel that is exactly the same as the one fitted on the front axle (same rim & tyre). The only difference is the spare has a speed warning sticker, a temporary wheel sticker and no TPMS sensor fitted.It's more the car handles differently, be it on the front or rear.
Guess that’s another reason it’s “temporary” spare wheelnot good for every VE/VF with staggered rims as there is a small rolling difference front to rear, the full size spare has to be the width of the front so a front rim is used so it can actually fit on the front and the back yet then if on too long will stuff the lsd diff
The spare should always be fitted to the front so it doesn’t fuk the diff.not good for every VE/VF with staggered rims as there is a small rolling difference front to rear, the full size spare has to be the width of the front so a front rim is used so it can actually fit on the front and the back yet then if on too long will stuff the lsd diff
thats the issue tho if u get a flat in the rear u only have a front to replace it with till fixed, would have been better if they at least use a tyre with the rolling diameter of the rear but on the front rim so it was ok as dosnt matter being on the frontThe spare should always be fitted to the front so it doesn’t fuk the diff.
Surely you can get 8.5” and 9” staggered tyres that have the same rolling diameter.thats the issue tho if u get a flat in the rear u only have a front to replace it with till fixed, would have been better if they at least use a tyre with the rolling diameter of the rear but on the front rim so it was ok as dosnt matter being on the front
