Can anyone recommend a spare rim and tire ? I heard a Nissan 200sx makes a good spare tire. Suggestions are welcome since I do not have a spare tire in the trunk since I purchased my Panasports 15x6.
Thanks,

If you decide on a space saver, understand they are strictly short term, low speed spares

Spare tire
I use the flat fix in a can. Shake it up, screw it on, on press a button for three minutes. Almost all flats are small holes, which this stuff seals. I've told my tire guys when I do it, and they don't seem to care. Beats changing a wheel on the side of the road.
It's not just about cleaning the gunk out. many of those systems can be combustible, as well. wether it's the actual material, or the propellent used to force it into the tire (more liekly) I've heard many horror stories from my tire guys who've encountered these fix-a flat filled tires.
sure, I'd rather have my wife do that than change a spare..... but for my conscience sake: I use the spare.
