    Spare wheel T125/70

    Simple answer is to try that wheel over the front. If it clears the disc/caliper you'll be fine as they are only on as a recovery option.

    Parking sensors

    Depends if the car was ordered with the sensor pack. If it wasn't then all you'll get is the reversing beeps, if you want it enabled you're looking at circa £450ish from one of the aftermarket companies to sort it.
