Spare Tire options, Miata? VW?

Will the 4 lug 15" spare from the Miata or VW work on the MCS? I have seen several and I wondered if the hub diameter was the same. Can get them complete for around $85. Thanks!

I'm sure someone can verify this but I thought I remember reading that a Cobalt wheel will fit.

HTH's,

Yeah, but those are harder to find. Any ideas?

What about a donut spare from a honda civic? The bolt pattern is 4x100 and if you could find a spare from one of those, perhaps that would work.

Where would you put the spare btw?

The part number is 36111509164 for the emergency spare rim. $35 at parts.com. Not sure how much the tire will cost.
