There's a dealership near downtown Salt Lake City that did a decent job on
replacing a blown seal on the tranny of my 200q20v while I was there a
couple winters ago.  

I wouldn't think the midget spare would require different wheel bolts than
any OEM wheel it was intended to replace.

The clicking noise is the wheel cooling off after she stops driving?  I'd
suggest she find a solution before driving much more.
