I have been on this board for 3 or 4 months now, but it doesn't mean that I have used up all of my stupid newbie questions.

My wrench told me that my car doesn't have a spare tire in it now, but he will make sure that there is one in it before I come to pick it up. Hence the question:

Does the wheel on the spare generally match the wheels that were on the car? Since I have 15" Fuchs on the car, should the spare be a 15" Fuchs also?

Did these cars come with a full sized spare? I heard something someplace that there was an "inflat-a-spare" and bottle of propellant to keep the trunk useable. The indication was that a full sized spare left a large bump in the middle of the trunk.

I am just embarrassed to have to ask a question like this!!
