Just checked here

FedEx | System Down

22x22x10" pkg 35.1lbs shipped to 28411 is $82.45 Fedex ground
That would be $50 for the wheel, $82.45 shipping and $2.55 paypal fee so $135 total shipped.

Sent you a DM. Please respond with payment info. I'm in.

@blnewt invert the tire and you will have more space and you could keep the tire down by putting a hook.

Yeah, I've considered doing just that, I've still got more than enough room for everything I need to store under there, but if you're trying to maximize storage and want an easier path to secure the tire that's a great plan!
I think I'm just going to put a large fender washer on that last standing stud and use a bungee cord to secure it down.
Thanks for that, need to get it done Frank

I don't think I'd be able to ship to Canada for a reasonable cost

I am shipping one to @Tripp today in Pennsylvania, and Fedex ground was about $85 so probably a bit more to NC from New Mexico. I'm keeping one for a buddy of mine that wants to get a Tucson so that's the only one I have left. So it would be approx $150 shipped to your door. Shoot me a conversation if you want to take it further

Sorry for the delayed reply here, but, yes, got the rim from blnewt, very happy, he even called me to make sure I was good with it! Found a buddy to cut the interfering bolts (as pictured by blnewt!), primered, got a jack on Amazon and a used tire on eBay, both as suggested by blnewt, got the tire mounted and balanced at Goodyear shop ($20). All fit in the trunk (foam insert removed). All for about $250, half what Modern Spare wants for a full donut package. Still don't want to carry it around full-time until I can lock it down. Found a coupling bolt (collar), M6-1.00, to fit the remaining bolt (see blnewt's photos), but haven't yet located a threaded extension rod or bolt to fit. Surprisingly hard to locate locally! So, haven't exactly finished the project, but great support and info from blnewt, as always!! Whether I end up needing it or not, I'll feel much better about traveling now.
Also bought a brighter rear cargo light bulb, as suggested by blnewt. Now, considering installing a 2nd rear cargo light (again, a blnewt project, well documented in this forum), not really my skill set...yet. Someone also showed pics of installing a switch, looks very professional. I found 31 mm 800 lum bulbs that will alternately switch on from white to red. Would be cool to be able to use a switch to select color (preserves night vision in red), or just off and enjoy the stars!

@Tripp
Glad it all worked out well, nice to have a real spare in there if & when the need arises. Look forward to your method to secure it down. Those hold down straps that @frankmar used to hold his donut seem to work well too.

The main thing if you plan to do that 2nd cargo light is be SURE to cut inside that template, much better to take off less there and cut to fit than take off too much and have a gap that can't be fixed.

Missed the hold down straps comment/thread, can't seem to locate it. Got a link, or repeat? Thanks for the tip! It'll be a while before I tackle the cargo light project, if at all. But I may go ahead and order the specific parts suggested while still available, they're cheap enough. The daunting part, to me, is not cutting the hole, but removing all the plastic along the 'trunk' to run the wiring. I assume you just wired it into the existing light leads?

Yes, just a couple quick splice taps into the two existing cargo light wires. Removing those panels isn't too bad, just need to have a set of plastic trim removal tools and follow my tips in that thread I posted.
And that tire strap idea was @hwoodland post here

Spare tire solution for a 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited

From E-Bay, I purchased a donut spare for the current generation Palisade and a jack for the current generation Tucson. The Palisade spare is a 155/90-18 tire which has a diameter only 0.20 inches less than the 235/55-19 tires on the Limited with the same bolt size / pattern and center bore...

I have been scratching my head on the purpose of the bolts sticking up in the spare tire compartment. I suspected they were put in for the 12 volt battery of the plug-in model. After some searching I found a picture from the national fire protection association (slide 8 in the presentation) that shows the battery pack in the plug-in. Although not certain, it looks like the bolts were designed to hold that down. Did I get it right? I am a new user of the forum so it didn't allow me to post the link. Will try a second post to do that.

Good info Jim, and welcome to the site, are you from Albuquerque (hence your username)???

Thankyou for the detailed post! It's encouraging me to consider adding the spare. I need to find someone with the grinder.

I tried one of those after market rims and tires. As it turned out, the rim fit the lug pattern as expected. I then did a dry fit on the front and back of the 2024 Hybrid Tucson. The rim on the front rubbed against the brake calipers. On the back it was OK. The reason it did not rub on the back is the brakes are smaller in the rear. I subsequently found a factory doughnut spare from a 2023 non-hybrid Tucson from local salvage yard….$200….. Everything is good. Make sure your replacement rim is narrow enough to clear the brake calipers. Difficult to do without a dry fit. Fortunately, I was able to return my first mistake.

Yeah, need to have the correct offset along w/ the bolt pattern. I would only use wheels w/ a 7.5" width and offset in the 35 to 50mm range to work on the factory 235/55/19 tires and clear the brakes, and any wheel wider than 7.5" may be too wide for the rear cargo floor to lay flat.

Depending on where you live I have 3 extra brand new 19" Tucson wheels taking up space in my attic. I could send you one for $50 +shipping if you aren't too far away from New Mexico it might not be too crazy.

Do you still have any of the new 19" Tucson wheels still available? If not, can you share where you got them? Thanks.

 

[blnewt]

They were my stock wheels on our Limited hybrid. I sold the Tucson but still have the one I was using as that spare (I got a new set of wheels so I had (4) of the OEM wheels left over). It has a used 235/55/19 Michelin A/S tire mounted (the same tire that comes on most the Tucsons w/ 19" wheels). It's heavy and will cost a bunch to ship, but if you're within a reasonable distance of Roswell NM a local pickup could work. Shoot me a PM if interested. If not you can find used OEM 19" Tucson wheels on ebay for about $250-300 give or take and united tire on ebay has good used tires for $30-40 w/ free shipping.

Blnetw. Thank you so much for this post but after posting here I went out and checked the area thinking this would work but not for PHEV. 12V battery and a control box are in there. Hence the bolts you had to remove.

 

[blnewt]

Yes, it only applies to the non-plug in hybrid

 

[smokey34]

blnewt , do you still have 1 of those rims you would be willing to sell me? Let me know please , I am interested on 1. Thank you.

(Moved to appropriate thread)

Looking to buy Tucson 2023 or newer and not sure about hybrid or ICE. Concerned that hybrid does not have spare tire which is almost a deal killer. Would like feedback from anyone who had a flat with a hybrid and had to use the inflating can.
