Note: This Kit will only fit a MINI Cooper Clubman S R55. Here is the Spare by itself for other applications.

If you're adding a spare tire kit to a MINI Cooper Clubman S, here is the best option for everyone that decided the run flats were not the tire for them (everyone?). The spare tire will fit down in your spare tire wheel just fine, but it doesn't have have a bolt or nut to hold it in place or a safe place to store your jack and other tools. The stock foam tray WILL NOT fit inside the tire (SEE photos). So we made this combo that adds the bolt, hold down nut, and the foam tray that will fit into your wheel and give you added place for storing small items as well as a spot for a jack and all the other tools that you need to change a wheel.

This spare comes mounted and ready to use. Nothing could be easier. As an added bonus, we installed a sticker on it for quick easy reference to show you to keep inflated to 60 PSI & to install in the rear! We also install a 2 inch valve stem to make checking and filling the air pressure easier. This wheel is a stock MINI spare tire rim and will fit over most front brakes that the MINI has, but will fit over ALL REAR brakes on the MINI UNLESS you have the JCW brake option (Brembo kit) on a Generation 2 car (you need this adapter kit here). And for safety, you should always run a spare tire on the rear. No Spacers, adapters, or special lugs needed to make this work with your MINI. This spare is a 115/70/15 tire which is about 22" in diameter and a little over 5" thick.. This is the correct size spare for all MINIs no mater what size wheel and tire you have. This is designed to be used in an emergency situation for 60 miles or less and under speeds of 50 mph. By using this you will not cause any damage to the vehicle if driven in a normal manner.

Fitment Note: Some tow hooks do not fit in the place designed by MINI due to a part change. It's longer and the tray needs to be trimmed just a bit to allow it to go in completely. About 2 seconds with a steak knife and you will have enough room, no problem. NOTE: MINI has changed the design to fit all tow hooks!

Note: If you have a Cooper Clubman R55, you already have a spare tire.

Note: Will NOT fit Generation 2 cars with the JCW BREMBO Kit unless you buy the adapter kit HERE.

    Mini Cooper CLubman spare tire and insert

    Posted by John Yeomans on 1st Aug 2022

    The product met all expectation and fits well into the rear compartment where the tool/ jack is located. My wife and I go on extended 3-5k miles trips in our Clubman which have run flats. They are great in most cases but... I hit a huge pit whole- could have rolled off the shoulder or dodged into incoming on coming traffic and hit the blasted thing dead on. The impact ripped the sidewalls. We went 10 miles to a rest area at 40 mph but it was close to 110 degrees out. AAA refused to helps as we we in the middle of nowhere. Long story short, we are now traveling with the added spare just in case.


    Now, the service at Detroit Tuned was exceptional! I didn't get the name of the young lady who helped me when I called to check their physical inventory but she was awesome. She went out to the warehouse to make sure that when I made my online order that the item was on their shelf- not a third part drop. After I ordered, I had a tracking number and the tire and inset made its way to my home. When they shipped the package they also included a keychain with three logo and a couple of stickers. I don't usually put stickers on my car but

    I'm impressed. This was an exact fit just as advertised. Everything fit perfectly and it took all of 5 minutes to take everything out of the factory insert and put this in. No muss. No fuss. It just worked. Bravo!
