    The OEM lug nuts should work. I can't remember it being a different pitch or size. But IIRC, Gen2 uses slightly narrow P185/65R15 tires. It should be OK for temp but may not want to keep driving on it.

    Surely I will use this fullsize for temp. Thanks for the answer on the lug nuts.

    Temp spares tend to be very close to the stock tire OD. If it's more than slightly smaller the car'll throw a code.

    185/65R15 od is 621mm or 24.4" compared to stock 195/65R15 for a PP 635mm or 25.0". Not sure if the difference is big enough to throw a code.
