sourcing space saver tyre

[Prolifik]

Hi guys,
I no longer run run flats and require a space saver for emergencys.
I have purchased a 17" space saver rim from BMW that clears the front calipers of the 135i, Im have extreme trouble finding a place to supply a tyre for it however...

i was told its 135/80/17

Can anyone lend a hand here or had previous experience sourcing one?
Im located in sydney.

I've got the alloy space saver. Previous owner bought it and it came with the sale of my car. I keep it in the closet and keep a slime kit in the car.

125/80R17

To my knowledge, the last space saver tyre I tried to get for a customer because BMW was Backorder, nobody can supply them they are a dealer only option.
The thing that's confused me is why the dealer let you buy the rim only. I would have opted or at least given you the option to purchase the Complete Tyre and RIM as a package, you'd be on your way now. As bmw have stock of this.
FYI tyre size according to catalogue should be 125/80R17, BMW do have stock of the tyre, shoot me a PM if you want some more information.

Any local tire dealer should be able to order you a space saver tire in that size. I think some guys here have found out that a Mitsubishi Galant space saver fits our cars. Not 100% sure.

There is always Tirerack.com too.
