Spare a thought
My wife recently purchased a 2009 Ford Fiesta Zetec S fitted with 4 stud, 205/40 ZR 17 sized wheels and tyres. Unfortunately it came with a compressor and can of sealant, and not a spacesaver spare wheel, which we would both prefer. Looking on eBay, the majority of spacesavers for sale seem to be sized 125/80 R 15, supplied from the Ford Focus. Is this a standard sized Ford part that would this fit?

Focus are 5 stud, not 4 stud. But there is an accessory space saver for the Fiesta. Cheap if ordered with the car because partly in lieu of the pump and can of glop. Dearer bought afterwards. The Fiesta on 205/40 R17s has a rock hard ride.
