I have a MG ZS EV here in Australia. It is impossible to buy a space saver kit here as spare parts search by VIN and the result is zero. Could some kind soul find me the part number for the space saver spare wheel kit?
An update to my last posting in January on this subject. My dealer in Brisbane was unable to get a genuine MG ZS EV space saver. Apparently not imported to Australia. After further research I found an alternative with similar specs out of a wrecked 2012 VW Golf GTi. The RIM is an R18 with identical Bolt pattern and PCD. The tyre fitted to the 18" rim is a 125 70 R18 which is the closest external diameter match to the standard full size 215 50 R17's.I ordered a space saver spare for my MG ZS EV through my dealer in Brisbane when I collected the car in November 2020. I'm still waiting on delivery...
That is brilliant !.An update to my last posting in January on this subject. My dealer in Brisbane was unable to get a genuine MG ZS EV space saver. Apparently not imported to Australia.

@MilesperkWh is the best person to answer this question, as the has researched wheel sizes etc for his wife's ZS EV.Does anyone know what the Centre Bore size is for the MG ZS EV?
Is it 56.1mm?
I know the PCD is 5x112
I'm looking at getting hold of one from ebay/FB etc and want to make sure it'll be compatible.

I should have added that the rolling diameter for space saver tyre/wheel T125/70/R19 is 658mm which is within 3% of the full sized tyre 668mmI have been looking into a space saver spare wheel while am waiting for my Long Range MG ZS EV to arrive and have ordered (on eBay) what I think is a suitable wheel.
The tyres on the new MG ZS are slightly larger than on the first generation.
215/55/R17 (rolling dia 668mm) as opposed to 215/50/R17 (rolling dia 648mm).
The max permitted variation of the rolling diameter for a spare wheel is 3%. This means that for a tyre with a rolling diameter of 668mm the spare space saver must be within 668 x 97% = 648mm. Or for the tyre fitted to the original ZS EV 648 x 97% = 629mm.
The recommended space saver for the original ZS EV (T125/70/R18) has a rolling diameter of 632mm and therefore is not suitable for the new MG ZS.
I have searched for a readilly available space saver for the new MG ZS and have found what I think is a suitable wheel/tyre:-
T125/70/R19. This is the space saver used on some Audi and probably other vehicles as well.
Unfortunately the centre bore is 66.6mm rather than the required 56.1mm (or is 57.1mm?) However adaptor rings are readily available on eBay for less than £3.00.
To sum up :-
Space saver wheel/tyre T125/70/R19 plus an adaptor ring 66.6mm to 57.1mm.
The off-set on the space saver is 29mm (ET29) and I believe the off-set on the MG ZS is 41mm (ET41) so I don't think that will be a problem.
I hope that the above is correct but as I have yet to receive my shiny new car I cannot be completley sure.
