Anyone have any idea where I can find a stock spare for this car? Can't seem to find one anywhere. I am talking to a guy that has a 2006 spare, but I'm not 100% sure if it'll be compatible. I bought a spare not too long ago but it didn't fit because the back of it couldn't sit flush on the wheel knuckle assembly (apparently, ford explorer rotors have an outer diameter that's not compatible with most wheels?)
 






I was at the local pick-your own-parts junkyard a couple of weeks ago and there were a lot of factory wheels with tires available, cheap. I would imagine you could find a spare with no issue, people tend to grab the jacks and tool kits fast, though. I almost grabbed a set of 17's off a mountaineer with good michelins but could only find 3 out of 4 so I decided to pass.
