As MrSig says, spares are more or less a paid option now. Just grab one and a jack and toolkit too. Think of the compressor with the repair cartridge as a 2nd backup spare.

My 2016 came without a spare. I kinda forgot about it, then last fall I had a flat—puncture in the tread, it went completely flat in seconds. I didn’t even bother with the inflater thing…I was close enough to a friend’s place to borrow his truck, run home & get a snow tire, run back and change it (I then changed all my tires over to snows, it was time anyway).

I realized I could just throw a snow tire in there as a spare (or summer tire, in the winter)…duh! But, I am looking for a 2nd hand “donut” tire to have as a spare, just to keep the low floor in the trunk area.

Note–I got the flatted tire plugged, no problem…glad I didn’t try to use the sealing goop & inflater, as that would probably have made the tire unrepairable.

They are a standard wheel PCD.
Anything for a Fiat 500L/X, Dodge Dart etc will fit.

They don't come with a spare so no jack either?

No jack, no wheel brace.

If you order the official Mopar skinny spare one it comes with everything. Including retaining bolt etc.

Even though I have the TrailHawk after I upsized my tires I also bought a matching size spare. Since I also wanted to be able to rotate all of them I wanted a matching wheel as well. Of course going through Mopar wasway too expensive for me so I turned to Ebay and found a matching wheel that was in very good condition for only $150. Even if you are not upsizing, if you are having to buy a spare and dont mind the extra expense, it is nice to have it all match.
