Mach 1 Spare Tire

[kellyreno]

After driving home I discovered no spare. Not trusting the seal and fill deal, I ordered LevittownFordParts Part # FR32-1K007-C $240.00. At trackattack someone told me it would not fit. Sure enough their website says excludes Brembo Calipers. I am sure that was not stated when I ordered it in May. What spare kit fits? What rim might fit to keep the tire?

I read that you can use it on the back tires so you’ll have to switch out the back tire to the front if the front tire is involved.

Dal,

First Stang is correct. I have one also.

Yep I have it on mine its got everything you need. I refused to drill into the car though, I made a solution using the stock mounting points.

I ordered my spare via AutomotiveAuthorityLLC.com....works over the big Brembos on our cars.

Thanks for the link. The wheel/tire only is $430.00 I was hoping to resolve this a little cheaper. lol

Yes, it is a costly kit, but like @First Stang and @Ctodd1 said you can use the one you have, and swap wheels as needed. That would save you money.

So it would be a 50/50 chance of it being the rear. Otherwise jacking the rear, swap spare for rear, move rear to the front. Yikes! Already had one screw in the left rear. Was 1/2 mile from dealer when TPS went off. Pulled a 3 inch drywall screw from middle of that wide ass tire. Not sure I would get so lucky again. Rural S.C. has areas with no cell coverage.

Just do the AA spare. A flat is inconvenient enough and may place you in an unsafe or non-ideal location to fix it. It's not worth the risk of more potential downtime in either of those scenario's in my opinion.

Well, I woke up recently to a completely flat rear tire on my Mach 1. Went to the trunk and saw that my car was not equipped with a spare. Pulled out the little factory provided gizmo that is half pump half leak stopping goo. No luck totally useless.

So, fast forward to after repair was made.. I bought a quality little air compressor for the trunk that plugs into the dash outlet, and I also bought a tire plug kit. Not ideal but it gives me the option to put air into a flat or partially flat tire until I can limp to a shop and/or stick a plug into the tire until I can limp into a shop. This all being said; I'm still thinking about buying the $400 spare tire from AA after looking into it more.

I have Forgestar f14 18 x 5 front skinnies wrapped with MT 26 x 6 x 18. Would this work on all 4 sides?

Get AAA for $129 a year. 200 mile tows on top of what ford Roadside provides. Cheaper than maintaining a spare and a whole lot less work. Just ask for a flatbed.

That works if you want to wait for the tow, but not so well when you leave metro areas and it’s a bit more difficult in getting a tow in a timely manner.

I was out on a cruise with friends a few years ago and one of the cars encountered a puncture and none of us had a spare that worked. He had to wait 2+ hrs for the tow truck to finally show, and slow ride home 100 miles away.

I decided to buy one of these spares the next week, and threw in a pair of gloves and one of those XL Tyvek suits (Home Depot) to throw over my clothes.
