frankd Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hello, Can anyone tell me where to find a spare compact tire for a 2020 Ford Fusion SEL? The tires that came on the car are 235 45R 18. I would like the tire, wheel and correct stud pattern. Any help would be appreciated. I can purchase one from my dealer for $375.00, comes with tire, wheel and jack kit. seems some what steep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fusion was a good seller in its heyday, and some have most certainly been involved in accidents and sent to Salvage Yards, so you can try your local Salvage Yards and Carparts.com. To ensure proper fit, obtain one from a 2013-2020 Fusion with 18" wheels, as yours is. If you only want to purchase new, get the part numbers from the Parts Department of your Ford Dealer, then Google the part numbers to shop online. Or use any of the many online Ford Parts sellers. Also, keep in mind that parts and service prices are negotiable, so negotiate with the Parts Manager of your local Ford Dealer/Dealers. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Waldo Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The Fusions all used the same size mini-spare tire, doesn't matter the original wheel size. The 2012+ Focus also used the same mini-spare, so that's another option to target at salvage yards. BTW keep in mind if you're car is a hybrid (that didn't come with a spare, which is likely why you're asking), then be aware that putting the spare in may compromise the crash performance of the vehicle if you're ever rear-ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Waldo. Hope all is well! I mentioned wheel size because the MKZ has two different mini spare sizes available. One for the 18" wheels, and one for the 19" wheels. I don't believe it is the wheel size which makes the difference but a brake caliper or other clearance difference issue. I found this information out because my Lincoln Dealership went to swap out the new spare to my car from an 18" wheel equipped MKZ. However, they discovered it is a different size, so they had to order one instead. Of course, this information may not directly apply to the Fusion, but I felt it was a good idea to make it known to the OP. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
