Spare Wheel for Mini EV? Total lifesaver, no doubt!

[StrongAt45]

Yesterday sucked big time. My front tire was totally flat, and I had to wait ages before Roadside Assistance finally showed up. Now, I need to have a spare wheel for my Mini Electric coz I'm always on long trips and having a backup would be a lifesaver. That gunk they hand out won't do squat if you hit a pothole. Mini doesn't even list spare wheels, so has anyone tried slapping on a spacesaver spare wheel for the Mini EV? Does it fit? And if you've already figured it out, what size wheel and tire should I be scoping out? Mine's got those Power Spoke 17-inch wheels with 5 bolts.

There's no space for it, but if you want to put it in your back seat, then buying a tire that matches the size of your stock tires would be good.
