Hi!

Does anyone know if the MINI Cooper with Chilli Pack comes with a standard spare wheel?

I "think" you can't get a spare as the spare is 15" and the chilli pack wheels are 16".

Hello!

Thanks for that, does that mean I can't get a spare wheel at all?

Or does it mean I've just got more space in the boot?

The 15" spare on the MINI Cooper is stored underneath the boot rather than in it. The picture below shows the spare tire after lowering.

You can use this spare regardless of what size wheels and tires you have fitted ... it is only meant to get you to a repair shop [at a reduced speed] to get your flat tire fixed. You may have to order the spare tire as an option on the Chili Pack ... check with your dealer.
