    Some newer cars do not have a spare wheel also, instead they carry a can of some fluid-glue-stuff that also inflates a damaged wheel.

    im sure i answered this yesterday, but the post seems to of gone AWOL

    either try and find a space saver wheel which might fit, although there are not many 4 stud around, not sure if ford still do a 4 stud in a small car/wheel. perhaps peugoet 206 iirc pugoet are 4 x108 pcd, dunno if it would fit your hub though, or maybe base model fiesta mk2, 4x13 wheel fitted with a 135/13 if the wheel dont ( or even the
    space saver for that matter) fit your hub you could always bolt it on backwards, in the 70's it was quite common to bolt steel wheels on the wrong way round to make them look wider
