I'm not aware of any full size spare options so my guess is that all Festivas came with temporary spares in the 13" size.
If you will be upgrading to Aspire hubs with their 4 X 100mm pattern, then I'd recommend getting an early Kia Rio spare doughnut, which is the same size as the Aspire doughnut, but several years newer. They also came in bias ply and radial versions. I have one of each.
Either that or go to a full size spare to match your new tires.

Don't use donuts, get a full-size 12" spare. Far more reliable and convenient if you have to go any distance with it.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

I have an Aspire spare in mine. The problem is the fact you can't use the stock wheel well cover any more. I just went to the junk yard, got a nice clean large cover out of some other trunk, cut the hole a lttle larger so that it would fit around the steel wheel protrusion. Dropped in a plastic disc and then threw carpet over that. Just a small bump now.Last edited by bravekozak; 11-23-2013, 09:55 PM.Comment
