Hi everyone. Just purchased a new spacesaver wheel for my 2016 Macan as I only had the puncture repair kit and like everyone else I’m concerned about a puncture that can’t be repaired roadside.
Does anyone know if Porsche supply the securing bolt/nut to secure the wheel in position. I’m also in the market for the foam insert if anyone knows of one.

This thread has been really helpful. I've recently ordered a Macan S and hope to get it mid December. I called the dealer a few days after my order had been locked in the hope that they could pick a spacesaver wheel off the shelf an dstick it in whilst building the car. I now understand that "locked" really does mean "locked" and was advised I would have to back to the end of the queue and wouldn't get a car this year if I decided to re-spec !.
This forum has explained the situation much better than the dealer did so I now understand.
As I intend to keep the car for 4 years, I think I will smile through gritted teeth and place an order for the wheel.

I think you'd be lucky to find a breakdown patrol with a suitable space saver.
My brother recently got a puncture on his SQ5, which has smaller wheels than our Macan, and they had to put it on a low loader from the lake district as they didn't have a spare and couldn't find a mobile tyre fitter with a tyre that would fit.
