Spare wheel

[npole]

Hi everyone, tried to find a reliable source for a spare wheel for my Bullitt, but didn't find anything here in Europe.
With 19" wheels and the Brembo brakes, I know that the regular spare wheel won't fit in the front, a proposed solution would be to move the front wheel to the back in case you get the front one punched, however I'm trying to find a spare wheel that will work right out of the box (including the usage of the original nuts) that will fit the hole in the trunk.
Does Ford sell a spare kit that will work correctly for the Bullitt with 6p Brembo, or does anyone know a brand that is available for purchase in EU countries?

Lots of info here https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/mobility-kit-vs-spare-tire.116833/

There is essentially one option that will fit in the trunk well but you need to contact them to see if they will ship to Italy.

The other option is a full size wheel & tire but that will eat up you trunk space.

Nope. It excludes PP1/PP2 cars with Brembo brakes, so not sure if the diameter of the kit for non-PP cars is the same as the rear tires on our cars, which I doubt. You want that, since our cars are equipped with the Torsen diff, which doesn't like different diameters... although it reportedly can tolerate it to some degree. But consensus is it'd be better not to push your luck with that .

Located in Carroll but will meet a reasonable distance.

I wonder what OP would consider reasonable from Carroll to Italy.

Meet in the middle, in Greenland? Sounds reasonable enough to meeeee.

Just make sure to watch your step.

That consensus doesn't include the manufacturer of the diff. Torsen's website explicitly states the diff can take up to a 25% diameter difference kept to the speed and distance limits for a T-type spare.

That being said, I went with the AA spare for mine, which matches the rear wheel diameter, because you can be right about the overall statistical situation ane still come up the loser on an individual bet.
