2019 F-Pace Space Saver 19" spare wheel + 175/80 tire
First roadtrip with family, newborn, dog etc, figured it would be worth while to have a usable spare on hand to avoid ‘one more thing’ to go wrong. Often just toss an OE take-off wheel/tire in trunk since most my cars didn’t come with a donut, but with space being tighter with new additions I decided to hunt a more compact solution.
Jag offers a 18/19/20 spare in the f-pace series. The SVR f-pace 20” spare seemed ideal, but less common to find, and was skeptical of the 18” clearing the Brembos. For $100 rolled the dice on a 19” unit off a 2019, it’s a bit tall at ~30”, but for the price I could always swap the tire later
As for caliper clearance, was surprised to see it did in fact fit over the caliper
, but with literally a hair of clearance. I had some 5mm hubcentric spacers I got for the OE wheels and never used, so one of those now got put on sparetire duty and provides plenty of clearance. Tons of thread with the slim steel wheel face, and the 30” height does not appear to be an issue and full turn.
If the modernspare wheel was available at the time for GTs or even non-GTs, I would have probably gone that route since it’s a narrower 4” | 155 wheel & tire, versus this steelie (5.5" I believe?) | 175 combo… In hindsight, using my takeoff OE GTPE wheel would have only been a few inches taller, and could have just used that... Thankfully, didn't need to use it in the end, but was nice peace of mind. I am still interested in the modernspare or smaller setup, so will see how that shapes out when available and how it might fair under the rare floor panel.
