Hi Carl, My s type came wth a matching alloy "proper" spare wheel factory fitted. I was an option on a 2007 s type, and probably other models. I was rather happy with that. SWMBO and myself have just celebrated our Golden Wedding anniversary and I bought her a car -- she had felt we didn't need two cars when I retired but the S Type was not a shopping trolley. Doing my bit for the universe I bought a two and and half year old Toyota Yaris Hybrid with 9,500 miles on the clock and a tyre inflator and a bottle of something to spray into the tyre. It just too 7 days to get a matching alloy rim, eea new tyre, a jack and wheelbrace for under £200. Much safer. Regards, Peter.

Hi My S-type R had a space saver and replaced it with a full size alloy if you have the space, then you should be able to fit, on my car it was a option you could remove your front wheel and see if it fits in the boot if your cars like mine with it been a R, the wheels are staggered, rears are much wider than front, I bought a front wheel for the spare, as that will fit front and rear rear will only fit rear, as its too wide for the front, if your wheels are not staggered, then any will do, cheers Joe

I don't believe that a spare wheel came as standard: Mine certainly doesn't have one. I have read of owners sourcing their own, and of course they need a wheel wrench and a jack as well.
