Wheel Size Question for Spare Tire

Hello, found this Site after looking around after not being able to find out an answer to the below, so first post here.

I have a '25 SEL Tucson Hybrid which came with no spare tire.
Tire size is 235/60R18. I have a used tire the same size but looking for a wheel that is the same size.
According to wheel-size.com the wheel size for the Tucson is 7.5Jx18 ET51 with an offset range of 49-53 and bolt pattern of 5x4.5.

I found a used wheel on ebay that states it's compatible with '24 and '25 Santa Fe's, and the size listed as...
Rim Diameter 18 Rim Width 7.5 Bolt Pattern 5X114.3 Offset 49.5

Would that rim work for my spare?
Thx!

Not sure what "SMH" means. The reason I'm asking because there isn't a tire/wheel forum on the Tucson board.
I seen a lot posts warning about making sure about tire/wheel size on AWD hybrids but I have no idea about differences between wheel sizes, Hybrids verse ICE vehicles, etc.
eBay and a couple other sites that have the enter your vehicle details stated "this does not fit" or similar.

It means you're on the wrong forum. How is that not obvious to you??
Please explain to me what a Tucson has in common with a third generation F-body...

Re: Wheel Size Question for Spare Tire

This forum is for the third generation 1982 to 1992 General Motors Chevrolet Camaro & Pontiac Firebird.

We don't have anything to do with Hyundai cars or AWD.

Re: Wheel Size Question for Spare Tire

No problem. This forum shows up in Google searches a lot probably because it has been around so long and people get here by mistake all the time. We help people all the time with questions that aren't 100% about 3rd gen Camaros & Firebirds but are at least somewhat close and related to them. Like same or similar engines, transmissions, computers, and DIY ECM tuning and such.

New Hyundai SUVs with AWD is a little bit out of our wheelhouse though. Good luck with your search.

You have to ask yourself why the guy just didn't go to a tire shop or the dealer....
