A Space Saver Cobra Spare was too expensive so I bought a 5 Lug GT Space Saver Spare, it will fit on the rear of the car, if I ever get a flat up front then I have to move a rear tire, no big deal.

I just don't carry the spare. Can't remember the last time I got a flat, and it's less weight.
Oh, golly gee willikers Wally, now I've jinxed myself, and Friday the 13th coming up, too...
Edit: Attempting to bypass the language filters is bad.

MPS - www.stangparts.com has sold them for like $200 each. I had a Mark VII spare for a while, but after changing two front flats and doing the rear tire shuffle, at work, in my dress clothes, I decided to get an extra Bullitt wheel and put it in the hatch. It sticks up about 3-4" above the well. I plan to get some foam padding to fill in the rest of the floor so it will be flat again and the carpet will sit flat. I saw someone had the wheel showing with the carpet around it, and it looked pretty nice to me. I might do that too.
I just looked, and MPS is now seling 05-06 17" spares for $50 each. I wonder if they would fit over the 94-04 front Cobra calipers? I'll have to ask my friend if we can try it out sometime.

I have a Cobra temporary spare (it's aluminum) to fit the front brakes. It's the same diameter as the 17" tires, and it fits in the well. A full-size spare will fit there as well (I had to put my wheel back there when I used the spare). 
Here's a couple of pictures:

They would have been the Factory Spare in a Cobra, Bullitt, or Mach 1 but as listed above they are expensive.

Most places will ship!
BTW: I had to pay over $300 for my min-spare many many years ago because they were very rare and near impossible to get. Now, Ford has been using that same spare on a number of cars for many years.

What dealership will let you test drive a cobra, bullitt, or mach 1 without someone from the dealer going with you??
99+ GT's have a 16" spare. Unsure if that's the year spread, but my '03 GT has a 16" spare. I have read that it will fit the 13" setup with a small spacer.
Been meaning to test this out because I have 13" brakes on my '03 and hate doing the rear tire swap. However, i don't want to scratch up my painted calipers if it hits
On my fox, i have a 15" V6 spare. It will fit the rear Cobra setup, so i just swap the rear tire to the front. However i hink i'm gonna go 275's in the rear on the fox so i guess iwill either need to get a 17" spare, or figure out if the 16" GT spare will fit with a spacer

We need to check out the bolt pattern and size of the spare tire for the ford five hundred and montego. They have HUGE 12.5" Front brakes and 13" rear brakes!
If the bolt pattern is the same, you might be able to get one cheaper
EDIT: just checked, the 500 is a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. It could work
