spare wheel no longer included


Explanation:
It sounds to me like a situation in which if you select one or more of the options the spare wheel is no longer included. In the case of optional wheels, for example, a compatible spare wheel might be more expensive or of a non-standard type.

drop-down spare wheel


Explanation:
This sounds like a drop-down spare wheel (cradle). They're getting more common nowadays - attached to the underside of the vehicle in a cradle.

I can't honestly see how any manufacturer or dealer would boast the fact that their vehicle doesn't have a spare - "great car but there's no spare wheel!!"
