The wheel size is 17x4 I think the tire is 155R17. Here's what I did. Call a savage yard and price a Cobra mini spare.I paid $150+25 for a new spare from a wreck. I could not get Cobra spare from Ford & they wanted $275.

yeah ford jacked up the price of the cobra 17" spare as soon as we started swapping the brakes to our GT's. Also used to be able to get them from MPS in Georgia cheap but they did the same and jacked them up.

if you have same tires all around just swap them front to back and use the stock GT spare

I was looking into this. Or you could just get towed if you get a flat and custom fabricate a woofer into that open space? Just a thought.
