Default Spare tire questions for Regal GS

I just ordered a Rgal GS with Auto. I now find out it does not come with a spare or jack, but comes with an inflation kit, I have 4 questions,
1 Do the non Gs Regals that come with 19 inch wheels come with a spare tire?
2If they do will the spare tire rim fit the GS wheel?
3If so will the wheel and jack fit in the trunk and fasten done like the original car is meant for.
4What if any is the part number for the spare tire and jack and price.

I am trading a 2009 G8 GT that did not come with a spare. I never felt secure so I ordered a spare and jack for $400.00 as it had to come from Australia.
I would appreciate any info , Thanks in advance

How about a tire plug kit? Slime makes a nice 63-pc commercial kit for $40-50. If you're going to go this route, go with a quality kit instead of the $7 blister-pack from Walmart.

I was wrong! Amazon has it for less than $25. But they're currently out of stock.

keep the spare from the g8- it will fit the rears, but unless its an 18", not over the brembos..you need a minimum 18" wheel to cover it, just like the g8 gxp.
worst case scenario, if you have a flat in the front, you take off the rear wheel, put it on the front, take the spare and put it on the rear.
