Just wanted to say "thanks" to mrdirosa. My local mini parts department was having a heckuva time finding the retainer bolt, screw and tray until I supplied them with the part numbers you posted. Good going, man!

For what it's worth, I got a MINI space saver spare from a MINI salvage yard (I cry a little whenever I think about what that means). It was $65 shipped and in great shape.

 

I got the spare from Detroit Tuned for $110. The tray, bolt and retainer for $ 57 at Morristown Mini. The dealers are a rip off for the spare.

 

Your tray fit perfertly inside the spare tire...mine is "raise" about couple inches so the cargo panel cannot be fit after I install the new tray...I might try it again this weekend to see what did I do wrong

 

If you are using the tray that came with your Clubman S, it will not fit the spare tire. You have to purchase the tray that comes with the non-S Clubman. The part number for that is: 71106778759

Yeah, I just about choked when I saw that $275 price for the spare tire/wheel - talk about a gouge!! The Detroit Tuned price is much more reasonable...Here's the URL for the DT setup: http://www.detroittuned.com/shop/?productID=504

 

Just got my spare from Detroit Tuned on Friday. Great service and half the price of the dealer, even after shipping! I was able to use the generous 20% off an accessory coupon the dealership gave me for buying a $30,000 car to pay $50 for the $1 piece of foam and retainer!

 

If you have a JCW Clubman, it's a little more complicated: you need a 10 mm wheel spacer, which can also be used as the wheel retainer when in the spare tire well.
Elsewhere there was a write-up saying that a 5mm thick spacer would work, but this is not true: on my car, with the 5mm spacer there was still a slight drag of the inside of the rim against the brake caliper. I resolved this by grinding down the offending part of the rim, but a slightly thicker spacer would be an easier solution.
I also bought my spare from Detroittuned, and they will tell you no spacer is needed to put it on the rear of a JCW since "the brakes are the same as an 'S'" which I found to be yet another untruth.
Maybe this is uynnecessary, but I'll say it anyway: this spare will only work on the rear, so if you get a flat on the front, put the doughnut spare on the rear first, then put the non-flat rear tire on the front. Where you'll carry the flat tire at this point is up to you!
Finally, so that my wife would also be able to remove the lug-bolts if needed, I bought a 32" length of 3/4" pipe at Lowe's to be used as a lug-wrench extension.

 

An 18" breaker bar will work just as well and you won't need an almost 3-foot length of pipe in the car and it'll be safer since it can't slip off of anything.

 

The standard lug wrench works just fine for me: I'm 6'-4 and 235 lbs. Even an 18" breaker bar is utterly useless for my 110 lb wife.

But thanks anyway for suggesting I know nothing about what I'm writing about.

 

No one suggested anything. I offered a safer alternative than a 3-foot length of pipe, nothing more. Relax, man. Jeez.

 

I order the whole she-bang (spare, tire tray, **** and bolt) from Detroit Tuned today for ~$200, shipped to NC. I'll post more once I receive products....

 

Hi everyone,

Very informative thread.

Just ordered the spare from Detroit Tuned.
Ordered the Tray, Retainer, and Mounting screw from Pelican Parts.

Ideally I should have just ordered everything from Detroit, but I ordered the Donut last.

Will post results as well once everything's into my 2010 Clubman S.

Update:
Everything came in. So far so good. Fits perfectly and it's hidden. Not like I used the space down there anyway. The tray looks exactly the same except for a couple things.

 

Anyone know of a source for a 10mm spacer??

 

Everyone and their grandma makes 10mm spacers. H&R makes a great one and you can get them at a number of retailers, like The Tire Rack.

 

Thanks q_s!

 

I pickedup a Honda Civic spare and can confirm that this fits both the front and back on a Justa Clubman. The wheel is 15" x 4", and the tire is a 125/70-15. The tire is slightly bigger than the Mini 115/70-15, but it still fits in the wheel well.

The 14mm wheel bolts do fit through the wheel mounitng holes.

Also, the Honda rim uses the same 56.1mm hub size, so this wheel is hub centric on the mini. Note, the Cobalt rim has a 57.1mm hub bore, so it is not hubcentric; it'll still fit but it's not ideal.

The Honda wheel is from the 2001 to 2005 Civics. Some also have 14" wheels, so make sure you get the 15".

 

Purchased everything from Outmotoring. No spacer needed.

 

JCWClubman, got any pics of it?

 

My non S was ordered with all season runflats. It came with a spare. It is an early 2008. I did not know that I had a spare until I read another thread here. If I had known earlier I never would have replaced my old runflats with new ones.

 

I picked my spare up at Detroit tuned for $110.00 + $34.00 SH
I have a 2011 clubman S all worked out great
Thanks for your posts

Because I wasn't sure I removed the Foam tray and I do have a Spare!
So a 2008 Justa-Clubman with R103 Star Blaster wheels and GoodYear Excellence 195/55r16 RunFlats Does come with a Spare !

I was under the impression that all Justas had spares. Every one I've ever seen has one anyway.

 

I was about to order the spare and tray kit from Detroit Tuned but the cheapest shipping cost to Los Angeles is $95?

 

I decided to have a look at the spare in our r56 last time I was washing it. It's a bit of a production to lower it from under the boot but pretty clever. It was all full of mud and stones so I hosed it off too.

There was a hose from the stem down to a remote filler valve. I could not get the hose off the tire with my hands for fear of breaking the stem. I didn't get a chance to free it up with a pliers but any r56 owners with this setup would do well to get in there and check up on that lest you need it someday!

 

One more time, for a cheap spare, a Chevy Cobalt spare works. $25 from the scrap yard. Check my post #31 for more details. I expect other small car spares will fit too.
