GR86 GR86 Space saver?

I dream of being able to purchase the bottom foam bit, so that everything fits OEM+
I have a brand new OEM wheel off a Levorg, OEM jack, OEM Wheel Nut and Washer.
And the fitment is just not perfect enough.

But it can only be purchased in the USA for $50~ with no UK Shipping options.
If anyone knows how to procure one or group by let me know! I'm desperate to replace my B&Q Foam Bits. 😭

Have you been to a UK Toyota dealer with the part number? Over the years I've done it a few times. Never been an issue.
 
This Wheel Turned up on Toyota Direct Parts, without Rubber.

I was wondering if this fit our GR86s and is a space saver spare. Doing a search on the SKU Part number yielded nothing concrete.
 
Yes it should do, unless you're running a big brake kit. I had a space saver that fit my GT and it now fits my GR.

Ordered a space saver from the wheel shop last weekend and it arrived on Tuesday which was impressive. Less impressive is the continental tyre on it that was made in 2011! 😡

Could be worse - mine arrived today with a tyre from 2009…. Others may want to take them up on their offer to fit a brand new tyre for an extra £30

Must admit, I haven't even thought about the age of my space saver tyre. I bought it for my GT86 after a few years of owning that, and it was second hand at the time. Isn't it less of an issue if the tyre is stored dry and in the boot though? I thought the only issue was UV light and exposure to the elements.

I won't be changing mine - no side wall cracks, no bulging, visibly ok; rubber may have deteriorated over the years but steel wire structure should be ok; if I have to use it I'll be going slow anyway...and it's newer than the OEM tyre on my other car's space saver from 1997!

I've read that it's recommended to replace them every 10 years, recommended, not mandatory. Could be just internet nonsense.

I'd replace it on condition rather than age, given what it's used for and the environment it lives in it's not comparable to normal tyres.

I can top that. I bought all the parts for a spare wheel and jack yadaya.. and if course it didn't fit because I have since installed a full TRD big brake kit 🤣🤦

Get a spaace saver wheel from the Impreza STI with 5x100 bolt pattern. I had the foresight to do that on mine as I had fitted brembos. The wheel is old now , so you'll need a fresh new tyre too, I wouldn't feel happy running a 20yr old tyre even as a temp spare.
