And my mother in law's '01 3.0 SPP has the same wheel in the trunk as is on the ground. They did not change until after the face lift. My '04 3.0 SPP had the different spare.

My '04 4.8is (obviously SPP) had the smaller, temporary 'donut' spare. I swapped the entire mechanism, including the lift straps and spare cover from the 3.0 into the 4.8is before I sold the 3.0.

This is a 3.0 SPP with 18" wheels window sticker I found from another thread:



I also found an '06 4.4SPP with the added 19" for $950.
