You mean you're scared that you may get a flat? Or you already have a flat?
Any car with 5x114 wheel bolt pattern will do, so Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, any other Mazda. The only thing to watch out for is that the spare is big enough to fit around the front brakes.
Ideally, you should look for an original but optional RX8 spare wheel package. It takes up a good chunk of the trunk so you may want to take that into consideration.
The flat tire repair kit the car comes with is pretty good, to be honest. If you have a slow leak or a nail in your tire, it will get you under way enough to get to a tire shop.

Loki is correct.
Any compact spare will do as long as the bolt pattern matches and it’s big enough for your car.
I found mine at the salvage yard in the trunk of a Mazda Millenia for $10.
