Depending on what brakes you have on the front you may have to put the spare on the back and move a rear wheel to the front if you get a flat on the front.
A lot of guys buy a can of slime, a plug kit and an air compressor instead of a spare. Also having road side assistance with a cell phone is a strategy for some.
I recently bought my 05 S convertible and don't have a place for a spare. It's the first vehicle I've ever had without a spare and I'm struggling with what I should do about it. I don't like not having a spare.

Does yours have any mods from previous owners? Mine came with cold air intake already, so looking at the Sprint Booster, pulley upgrade, coil overs and Cat Bak. When you're ready to make some mods let us know, we've been doing this for the brand for over 40 years on street and track. Here's a handy performance upgrade application guide:
