New Fit owner, 1st time poster. My 2011 Fit did not have a spare and don't want to get to far from home w/o one.

Manual shows 135/80D15 for my VSA version, but I'd accept the non-VSA 125/70D15 to get me started.

For either tire, can someone tell me what years have the same size donut as 2011? Looking to buy used for under $100.

I've lurked around here for a week now, and must say this is a great forum!

 

Should be 2009-2013. They were all the same size wheel/tire with the exception of some having VSA

I would not worry about driving without one. Canadian Fits use to come without a spare tire. I assume that is still true. I have a spare here out of a 2011 FIT. I believe it was on the ground once for about 50 miles. Shipping cost might kill you. I am in Indiana near Chicago.

Have you checked any local junk yards? You might also check some of the disassemblers like LKQonline.com . I just looked at LKQ and they had a bunch of them for $55 to $90. Ebay is currently down so I could not check there.

 

Your best bet is the local junkyards. Chances are the spare will be brand new.

I wouldn't go far from home without one either.

 

Thanks for the replies; armed w/ specboy's info I found a 2009 "used" donut on eBay for $70FS.

Salvage yards in AZ had very few Fits. LKQonline.com looks interesting, but they came-up empty as as well.

 

I do not know where you are located in Arizona but LKQ at 3024 South 40th street in Phoenix shows they have one available for $50.00.

 

n9cv,
Doooh! Yesterday I selected "spare wheel carrier" when searching LKQ. I see now donuts are under 2nd wheels selection.

I must've waited too long tho; the one available in Phoenix seems to be gone now. But I see what an awesome site LKQ is; and is bookmarked.

 

I just searched it again using zip code 85001 and "wheel". It came up as item 560-63987 for $50.00

Just phone them and ask if it is still there.

 

n9cv,
In the 5th post I said I found a donut on eBay, which has been shipped.

If that one doesn't fit I will definitely go back to LKQ; maybe if I register on the site I'll have better luck searching. I didn't see a place to put in my zipcode.
Many thanks!

 

I have been bouncing between 4 different automotive forums and I am in the middle of taking orders for motorhome windshields for a rally next month. I am up to 19 on that. I'm sorry. I did not catch that you had already bought one. It was my mistake.
