Where is the best place to hunt up a full size spare for my 09 g8gt? I plan on staying stock at least until I catch up on money. Have my dealer order me one with a complimentary can of lube?:( Online somewhere?:) Expect more dumb questions to fallow from this new g8 owner.:drink:

From the dealer, the 19" premium rims are listed at $500... I would definitely check the "wanted" section of the board as well as some of the supporting vendors.

Me, my process was:
1. Discover unexplainable 1" scrape on the rim, and slight dig into tire
2. Get angry
3. Calm down
4. Get insurance company to pay for new rim and tire.
5. Wish that - for the only time in my life I would have ever needed it, I would have gotten the darn "protection plan" for the wheels and tires.
6. Throw old/damaged rim and tire into spare wheel well.

Does a full size 19" GT tire fit in the spare wheel well? I had a flat recently (fortunately NTB was at the end of the first exit) and definitely feel like I would want a spare when on road trips. My flat was not repairable, and the hole was too big for the fix a flat and inflator.
