I have a five lug and I am in search of a 5 lug donut spare. I am also going to need an emergency jack in the event of a flat. My car did not come with a jack.
A couple questions: Other than Ebay, does anyone have a source for the donut? Does anyone have any experince with emergency jacks? Is there a better type than another? Would you use a jack plate with it? Thanks in advance. |

The scissor-style jacks found in lots of late-model Japanese cars are pretty good parts. They can be a little tippy, but they're still pretty good. You should be able to find one that will lift the car high enough (use the donuts under the car, most likely) to be able to change a tire.
A floor jack would be better (more stable) but you don't usually find those for $10 at the junkyard. --DD |
