Default spare tire is250
i know its a long shot.. but what kind of spare does the 250 have

i ran over the side of a parking curb thing tonight and got a .5 inch nick in my front right rim now.. went forward instead of back out of a space.. thought it was all clear..

bah.. i doubt it came with a 18 inch spare.. sigh.. i just hope it doesn't start leaking air

so far as I know if your IS is 16inch it will come with an extra 16inch for spare, 17inch also but for 18inch will come with a spacesaver wheels (those thin yellow one will 80km/h limited speed) hope this help

Yup, it's an ugly looking yellow mini spare (donut). The usual disclaimer - don't drive more than 50 miles or faster than 50 mph. I had a flat once and had to put the hideous donut on to get to a tire shop. And BTW, there's not much available space left once you put the rear 18" wheel in the trunk . . .
