Road Hero S650 Mustang GT and Dark Horse Spare Wheel Kit (RH228)

The Spare Wheel the S650 Mustang Should Have Come With

The 2024+ Ford Mustang GT and Dark Horse leave the factory without a spare wheel. Like the majority of new cars sold in the UK today, Ford has replaced the spare with a puncture repair kit — which is fine for a small nail in the tread, but completely useless for a blowout, sidewall damage, or any serious puncture. If you’ve driven a Mustang to a track day, a car show, or a long motorway run and thought “what happens if I get a flat?”, this is the answer.

The Road Hero RH228 is a complete spacesaver spare wheel kit engineered specifically for the S650 Mustang GT and Dark Horse. The wheel and tyre are matched to your car’s exact bolt pattern, wheel offset, and rolling radius — this is not a generic universal fit. It comes with everything you need to change a wheel at the roadside and get yourself moving again safely.

What’s Included

• Road Hero 19″ Spacesaver Spare Wheel — pre-fitted with 125/70 R19 tyre, balanced and ready to use
• 2-Tonne Scissor Jack with ratchet handle
• Extendable Wheel Brace with 17mm, 19mm, 21mm and 23mm sockets
• Warning Triangle
• Hi-Vis Vest
• Gloves
• Rain Poncho
• Head Torch
• Kneeling Mat
• Drawstring Wheel Bag — to store your removed wheel cleanly in the boot

Key Features

• Vehicle-Specific Fitment: Engineered for the S650 Mustang’s exact bolt pattern, offset and brake caliper clearance — not a generic fit.
• Pre-Fitted and Ready to Use: The tyre comes already fitted, balanced, and inflated on the wheel — no preparation needed.
• Correct Rolling Radius: Road Hero calculates the rolling radius to stay within the allowed 5% tolerance of the OE tyre size, ensuring no issues with stability control or differential operation.
• Complete Roadside Kit: Everything you need to safely change a wheel at the roadside is in the box — no hunting for tools or missing equipment.
• Compact Storage: The spacesaver wheel is significantly smaller than a full-size spare, making it far easier to store in the Mustang’s boot alongside the standard puncture kit location.

Tyre and Wheel Specifications

• Wheel Size: 19 inch
• Tyre Size: 125/70 R19
• Part Number: RH228

Important Speed and Usage Information

• Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)
• Drive to a tyre centre as soon as possible to have your main tyre repaired or replaced
• Handling will feel different with the spacesaver fitted due to the narrower tyre profile — drive accordingly
• Most roadside breakdown services will fit a spacesaver wheel, but check with your provider before travelling

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the S650 Mustang GT and Dark Horse come with a spare wheel?
No. Like the majority of new cars sold in the UK, the 2024+ S650 Mustang leaves the factory with only a puncture repair aerosol kit. This is effective for minor punctures but cannot handle blowouts, sidewall damage, or serious tyre failure. The Road Hero RH228 gives you a proper spare wheel solution for exactly those situations.

Will this fit my S650 Mustang GT or Dark Horse?
Yes. The RH228 is engineered specifically for the S650 Mustang GT and Dark Horse, matching the exact bolt pattern, wheel offset, and brake caliper clearance of the vehicle. It is not a generic universal fit — it is designed for this specific car.

What size is the spare wheel and tyre?
The RH228 uses a 19 inch wheel with a 125/70 R19 spacesaver tyre, pre-fitted and balanced.

How fast can I drive on the spacesaver?
The spacesaver is rated for emergency use at a maximum of 50 mph (80 km/h). You should drive to a tyre centre as soon as possible to have your main tyre repaired or replaced — do not use it for extended motorway driving.

Where does it store in the car?
The spacesaver wheel is compact enough to store in the boot of the S650. Road Hero includes a protective drawstring bag for the removed wheel to keep your boot clean during transport.

Does fitting the spacesaver affect my Mustang’s stability control or ABS?
Road Hero calculates the rolling radius of every kit to stay within the permitted 5% tolerance of the OE tyre size. This means the system will not detect a significant size mismatch, avoiding issues with stability control, ABS, and the limited slip differential during emergency use.

Will my breakdown service fit this wheel?
Most reputable UK breakdown services will fit a spacesaver spare wheel. Road Hero recommends confirming with your provider before you need it, as policies can vary.

Is this compatible with the S650 Mustang Convertible?
The RH228 is listed for the S650 Mustang GT and Dark Horse Fastback. If you have a Convertible model, get in touch and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
