Default I Need A Space Saver Wheel for XKR 75

I have an XKR 75 2010 with 20" vortex wheels. I want to buy a space saver wheel/tyre as a spare rather than use the foam sealant, however, I'm unsure of the size/type that would suit this car with the 20" wheel size. Rear tyres are 295/30ZR20. Apparently, the wheel offset and brake calipers are different on the XKR 75? I would appreciate any help with this. Cheers, Steve.

I have a 2009 XKR with 20" wheels. I also wanted a spare tire, not the flat tire foam. I found a seller in the UK, the spare tire and wheel was used but in top shape, probably never mounted on a car. Cost about $175.00 shipped to the USA.

Since my XKR is 20" wheels with the $5000 Alcon brake option and calipers, I had to have a 7mm wheel spacer hub centric custom made. Now if I get a flat tire, I feel very secure mounting the spare tire & wheels and driving away.

I would try a few salvage yards in England and see what you can find. Easier to find there than here in the USA.

Hello Quicstra!
I started exactly the same topic a year ago when I bought my own.
Perhaps you can type 'spare wheel' in the search window and go to the page 14.Its the 18th topic from the top.
That said I got mine through Eurojag and paid 318£ for a unused XKR 19inch Space Saver with the tool box (includes jack).
I hope it helps!

Hello Quicstra.
Just a thought:there is different spare saver sizes (18 and 19inch/red and black).
My understanding is that with 20 inch alloys,the 19 inch spare will sit the car at the right height.Thats what I read on previous threads.
More comments on the subject welcome!
Cheers!Phil
