Rickard, It is a 17" spare from a 2009 Nissan Altima. I picked it up for $50 from a salvage yard. It even fits perfect in the trunk slot to hold the spare! I just need to find a cover for the spare so it looks better in the trunk.

Swishh, I too have a Nissan wheel, but I don't know what it came off of. Does your wheel have any numbers or anything on it. Mine is a 17" wheel also, fits front and rear. Also fits in the spare tire well. Tire size is a little bigger than the Lexus one. Don't have a cover either. Paid the same as you. I don't keep it in the car , but in the garage. I just drive around with a 12v air compressor, she can if it's flat.

I went online to auto salvage. The request goes out to many salvage yards and I got a few responses like:
Nissan did not have an OEM 17" mini wheel factory on the '09 Altima ? Only show to have came out with a 16" spare...

I just bought a SC430 spare tire from ebay.
Go to Ebay search for SC430 spare tire, the guy sale for $255, i think. Bargain with him around $200 shipped and buy mount from Sewell parts.
http://lexus.sewellparts.com
I love this part site. it has picture so you know exactly what are you looking at.
total about = 284.75
if you want carpet, tire cover and another piece behind the tire add around 300 bux more, i am going to custom made them save me more than 300 bux)
Go grab it. We just bought 2 from that person. Very nice guy, when he shipped he give you track #. etc....
Good Luck

this is one thread that has been answered & kicked around for ever.
sooooooooooooooooo here's what i & some others are doing or going to do: get rid of the darn runflats go to conventional (most likely) michelins than get a plug kit for 5bucks & a can of flat tire inflate. or maybe a 12v very small air compressor. w/that dumb 300+spare i couldn't even get my tennis racket in the trunk.
anyway nobody has had a flat in over 10y. lf ps i better go check on that "noflat comment"!!!!

+1 on that! And stay away from the poor tire person that has to deal with your nasty flat when you want him to repair it. That fix a flat stuff will **** tire people off big time!!!!!! When they break down the tire for the repair, that stuff goes all over them and their equipment.
