Wow, now I regret buying the modern spare kit. Was looking at another another spare tire kit on ebay that I bought for another car that was pretty good, but it's not compatible with the P trim but the one you posted is (like the modern spare version).
I even prefer the scissor jack pad on the one you posted over the modern spare. The center bore size is correct, I'm surprised. And it has a slighter taller tire (that I prefer) than the modern spare version.

Don't feel bad. I had a flat tire at 816 miles. Good thing I was home and close to a big box tire store. A plus for owning a 3ton low profile floor jack. I am also glad I already have those jack pucks. I took the wheel-tire to the shop and got it fixed for free. I ended up purchasing tire certificates for peace of mind. I've used it twice before- a car and a motorhome. A week later, I decided to buy a used, almost new oem 19" wheel-tire with sensor for a full size spare, and a new 1.5ton low profile jack to haul with me during long trips/towing. Good plan, but not as great as having this kit to save weight and space. So I am still contemplating on whether to sell the spare full size set or not.

Anyone have experience with StanceMagic spare tire kit for $250 on Amazon? Looks similar to Modern Spare.

It appears to be the same seller or they are selling the same branded item as the ebay one. If I didn't already have the modern spare one I would buy this one from Amazon since the ebay price went up.

I ordered from ebay and got it in 2 days. Yes, it's same vendor in Amazon(cheaper by $15 fyi).
I will be busy with my home project, but would try to put this on/test by Sunday weather permits.

Before you mount it, please check to see if it will fit in the frunk or the under-trunk? This is what is holding me back on getting a spare. I really want one but even a Modern Spare is too large to put anywhere -- well, except that chobra put his in the back seat
Thanks,
Scott

The ebay\amazon version mentioned earlier has a taller tire (155 vs 145) than the modern spare so it's even biggerBefore you mount it, please check to see if it will fit in the frunk or the under-trunk?

Will not fit in the frunk
Will not fit in the under-trunk
There are pics when you search of what people have done to modify the under-trunk to make it fit but you have to remove the under-trunk bin or cut part of it
Addl pics to compare width of OE vs this semi-donut on steroid spare tire.
I am keeping it installed to the Y overnight to ensure the rubber has no slow leak with load. Btw, this came with 36psi so ensure to inflate to up to 50psi before storing back to bag.
The GOOD- it fits and it looks great! I ran it for about 4miles and no issues. I didn't get tpms error message. Maybe when I run it farther?
The BAD- although the provided jack is rated 1.5 ton it feels a little bit flimsy. It took about 65 quarter turns(ratchet) to lift the car! I don't think the jack will be OK to use on gravel or road shoulder(hwy). Due to that, I'll just carry a Harbor Freight 1.5t floor jack that's 30+lbs. I think I feel safer with that. Plus it only took 5 pumps to lift the Y and I can use the jack pad!
I installed it before I saw your post, sorry. I think it's almost the same size as modernspare. This one is 155/85/r18 whereas MS is 145/85/r18. So definitely won't fit those locations flat. But the rear bottom cargo, maybe upright? Someone posted a pic here of their MS fitted in that location.Before you mount it, please check to see if it will fit in the frunk or the under-trunk?

Wow, you went mini ProjectFarm on this review. Thank you.
Normally I just use a spare to limp home or to a tire shop but it's good to know that you can use it longer if need be.
65 quarter turns?? Who needs the gym when you can install a spare instead. The auto version of cross-fit!
The included jack for sure is flimsy, just enough to get the job done roadside and not any under the car type work. You're really going to carry the 1.5T floor jack in the car?? Torque wrench, impact gun, toss it in too!
