Just over an hour into my ownership of this car a tire blew up, just completely shredded living me stranded over night in rural .... someplace. There must be someone that has fit a donut spare into a roadster trunk that can be installed both on the front and rear without rubbing.
I know all all the negative comments I am inviting from those that have failed, but is there no one that has succeeded and will share EXACTLY which spare did the trick??
Thanking you in advance for the patience and assistance.

I don't have a SRT6 Roadster, but I do have a space saver spare tire in my SRT6 coupe, for emergency service.
I purchased the tire/rim/lugs as a package from a German parts supplier located in Potomac, Maryland several years ago. I went out to the garage and measured the exterior dimensions of the spare, it's tread is 6" wide and 21.75" in diameter, when collapsed.
The tire is a Vredestein brand (145-70-17) and is almost identical to the stock size wheel/tire (255-35-19) of the original equipment tire circumference on all SRT6's and N/A's. This was out of a 2003 SLK32 salvaged/parts car.
This spare fits the front and rear, with adequate clearance.
Hope this info helps in your search for a solution.....
