The oem tire and rim is as small as many temporary donut type spares
found in larger cars. You will not realize a weight or space saving
advantage with one. You will also not find one with the Spitfire lug
pattern.
You could have one of the pre-collapsed spare tires mounted onto the
oem rim, at substantial cost. You would not gain a weight savings, but
you would gain a space savings.
As another poster suggested, eliminating the spare completely is the
most weight saving space increasing alternative. A can or two of fix a
flat, and the small set of plug repair tools in the tool box, and away
you go. Works for motorcyclists throughout the world.

Hello out dae! I'm here to get feedback on the
possibility of using one of those temporary sparetires
to take some weight off the rear spring,& correct the
slight unusual angle of the rear wheels,which i know
to a certain degree is normal.But the unnecesary full
size spare,creates a problem(s);#1..space..weight..
and most of time its usless!finding one of those
things
that would fit the lug pattern would be a BOON!......
pass..it..on!........Ken
