    Not the kind you eat - the kinda that goes in your trunk....a spare?

    I gather the lug patterens are different and the sizes are for a lot of models. I need 16 saturn....
    no luck LKQ
    darn.
    rim is dented too - probably from when the stupid thing split.
    Dealers wants over 200 bucks!

    Am I better off gettign a new rim and a full size spare? But it doesn't fit well in the trunk....(can you hear me whining????)

    Try junk yards or towing companies. Hopefully the people working there will know enough about cars to help you. A full size spare is always the best, but often not practical if you have a small car. Just don't be crazy like some people I see on 40 doing 65mph with a donut spare, that is VERY dangerous not only to yourself but others on the road as well. I would think if you want to spend the money you could go to a tire store like Colony, Just Tires, etc. and buy a new one. Both of our cars take full size spares so not 100% sure.

    may be cheaper to get a used REGULAR SIZE Wheel

    It may be cheaper to get a used REGULAR SIZE Wheel, for your Saturn.

    There are more of these available.
    Then get a used regular size tire.

    It depends if the Saturn Model you have can hold a regular size spare.

    I saw the title of this thread, and it just happened to be next to the weight watchers thread at the time.
    Thought that was really funny

    Try local auto shops, maybe they can tell you where to get one, or they may have one or can get one.

    Tried looking for a full size rim and tire at junk yard?
