@Dads2kconvertible posted the link to my spare tire project above, using the Chevy Equinox spare, cheaper than the GTO spare but takes a little more work to make it fit, but both have to be modified in a similar fashion to make them work.

Do a search. This has been discussed MANY times.

Be aware, the most important thing is securing the tire and jack in the back of the car when driving. In the right/wrong accident, they will be the LAST things going through your mind, literally.
