No. There is space but no provisions for carrying a spare.
So What Happens If I Get A Puncture?
You can either:
Call smart assist if you are a member and they will come out and sort it for you,
Call your breakdown service and see if they can help,
Call a relative or friend to bring out a spare, if you have one,
Sit like a complete lemon on the side of the road,
Continue driving to the next available tyre place (this may ruin your wheel).
Of course, the other option is to carry a spare which will make life a lot easier.
What Do I Need To Get?
A way to remove the wheel bolts, they will be 15mm if standard or 17mm if aftermarket wheels are fitted. Wheel braces don’t usually go as low as 15mm so a ratchet and socket.
A jack. Most jacks will work fine. Check out the jacking page.
A spare wheel. Due to the fact that the smart range has a host of different offsets but the same PCD there are a few options open to you. We all know (or at least should do) that a 450 rear wheel should never be put on the front of a 450 because of the offset is too different. This means it is important that you carry a spare front wheel, the front wheel can be used on the back due to its diminished width.
