Is there a cheap mini spare wheel for the e body. With my battery in the trunk and my regular spare, there is no room left.

You could always get one of those 'donut' jobs that came in the early 80's Cordoba/Mirada cars. 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern, enough to get you to the service station

Are the modern era Mustang temp spares 5 on 4.5" ?

Don't know for sure, but if so, they should be common as dirt.


Down to just a blue car now.

Yes they are the right bolt pattern..you just might have to open up the center bore on the rim a little to clear the hub register is all

Oh, and if you have a limited slip rear, you really want to have a spare a similar diameter to your other tire..

You can find that bolt pattern on a LX or LH car.

I have an aluminum mini spare in my 00 Park Avenue. They are a 5x115mm but it will bolt on a 5 x4.5" in a pinch.

I do have posi - 430. I may be safer just keeping that regular spare in there and forget about more room in the trunk?
