I own a 2004 VW R32. It came without a spare -- it came with a can of stop-leak & a compressor. I read on a VW Vortex forum that an Audi TT spare would fit in the spare tire well of the R32, because the R32 is essentially a TT platform. I purchased a TT spare it did indeed fit into the space beneath the carpet in the luggage area. Problem is, the spare will only fit on the rear because the R32 front brakes are too large. So if I get a flat in front I will have to change 2 tires, but at least I now have a spare.

So at one point TTs must have had spares, because I bought one. Hope this info helps.
