Did you have it on backwards?

no i didnt have it backwards and just to make sure i tried it the other way lol even tho i knew it wouldnt work the bolts didnt fit through all the holes i think my spare was significantly small b/c i saw that it wouldnt fit over the brake calipers whereas my brothers spare fit perfectly i wish i had a damn digicam lol then i could show you exactly what i am talking about

I'm sometimes driving in places where autoclub and roadside assist might take hours to show up, assuming my cellphone had reception in the first place.
If the spare is not a 100% solution for flat tires, then I need to add one of those "tire seal" canisters to my travel kit, which would really suck.
I just had a look at my spare, and it seems to match the specs in the book for size. The wheel is a standard 5-hole pattern, but I haven't measured to make sure it's really a 5x114.
