AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS (UPDATED AND SOLVED) IS HERE: (2) SPARE TIRE OPTIONS - Santa Fe 2023 hybrid SEL Premium SOLVED!! | Hyundai Forums (hyundai-forums.com)
Hyundai 2023 Santa Fe Hybrid SEL Premium. Spare Tire.
OKAY... So, here's the deal. For my vehicle made in the USA (VIN starts with a 5), Hyundai doesn't make a part for the "carrier assembly" or "tire hoist". So, you have to do a lot of work around and a lot of improvisation but, I am almost positive, it can be done. Here's what I did to save you tens and tens of hours.
BTW: Hyundai has no solution. They think they have the part only to realize that they don't when we try to mount it to the vehicle. So, you can try it through them but make sure you can return for full refund.
PROBLEM: No spare tire was provided and car does NOT come with a Carrier Assembly (Tire Hoist) attachment. Tire Mobility Kit (standard issue) won't fix a blowout and Hyundai Road Side won't get you if you are not on a public road AND will only tow to the nearest dealer/tire place (where you wait until they are open).
MY SOLUTION:
STEP 1: BUY CARRIER ASSEMBLY (CHEAP AND EASY OFF OF EBAY) - ABOUT 65$
Buy Carrier Assembly (part no 62800-P2000) from EBAY (only place it's sold... "guaranteed fit with seller paying return shipping". about $75. NOTE: this is NOT the correct part (for my vehicle) but it's very close. 4 BOLT HOLES line up perfectly. THE 5TH is close enough to work. THE 6TH IS OFF by about 1/4".
STEP 2: ATTACH CARRIER ASSEMBLY (THIS REQUIRES PRO-GRADE SUPPORT) - ABOUT 50$
I went to an autobody shop where they machine parts. The guy looked at the part and vehicle and said that for $50 he can tap a new hole into the frame (to fit the assembly holes) and place in a threaded female end to receive the bolt. Thus, with his help, you can properly connect the tire hoist assembly to the car. The rest of that part fits just fine.
If for some reason your car doesn't come with the 6 bolts, I'm told from Hyundai they are Part 11403-08155p
STEP 3A: BUY WHEEL: $120 NEW (very hard to find the precise wheel with lugnut ratios etc... used.
WHEEL - TIRE RACK/DISCOUNT TIRE: I went for the full-size. To cut weight, we went with an alloy wheel ($120 Sparko - Podio) Wheel: 19 x 8.5 with bolt pattern 5.114.30 (about $120) (is what i bought).
STEP 3B: BUTY TIRE: 235/55/R19 70$ from United Tire (Online)
I bought a used tire that exactly matches my tire with an almost new tread (10/32) for about $70. Continental CrossTrek LX sport 101H (important that you get a tire that can carry at least as much weight as the manufacturer recommended...in my case 101H.).
NOTE: they did a quick and incorrect fix of a nail hole that almost caused Discount Tire to refuse to mount the tire/wheel. DTire was able to remove patch and redo it properly and then put it on the wheel. The normal charge for this would be about $50. They didn't charge me anything because I've been a good customer for a long time.
Money-Saving option (a bit heavier).
You can save some money (but gain some weight) by buying a compatible 17" steel wheel. The steel wheel is about $80 from the discount tire, and the cheapest tire 235 / 65 / 17 is about $95 from the discount tire (new). You can easily find a used tire for much less at United Tire. NOTE: This smaller wheel but taller tire is compatible with your all-wheel drive using the wheels/tires 235/55/R19 that came with the vehicle. (BTW: Hyundai proposed a $500 donut wheel/tire combo 135/90/D17 and wheel (part: 52919-R5100) ... expensive just because they are so uncommon... and their proposed wheel (17") matches the alternative 17" option Discount Tire suggested. NOTE: the 17" wheel should slide around the front disk brakes.)
POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE IF YOU JUST BUY A DONUT: maybe you can take out the storage compartments in the trunk below the "floor" of the trunk and fit a small donut in there if you want to skip the whole carrier assembly. but, not sure... I'm not going that route.
TOTAL COST FOR FULL-TIRE/WHEEL SPARE AND ASSEMBLY
ABOUT 350$ or so... after I buy a 3-ton jack from Amazon for about 50$.
WEIGHT GAIN is about 40 pounds with jack? (just a guess).
HOPE THAT HELPS. Took me tens of hours to work this out myself.... and tens of phone calls and multiple returns... (What I wrote above is just the summary... not the sloppy process I took and all the mistakes I made.)
All thoughts welcome! All Advice and Experience... even more welcome!

This mark is made with a sharpie through the hole in the Carrier Assembly 62800-P2000, revealing that the 6th hole (bolt) won't fit.
There is another bolt that is also not a perfect fit (vertical) but could likely be angled in (thus destroying the threads of the hole), but it would likely work. That other hole (not shown) could possibly be re-drilled altogether (i.e., a new hole through both the hoist mount and a new hole at the bottom of the car) to align just right. OR, perhaps, one could just twist the metal mount a bit by about 1/2 mm to fit better.
