Hey I’m looking at putting a spare wheel in the car as it don’t have one, can anyone give me the size I need to fit over the brembos with the space saver wheels thanks.
A Megan’s RS no punctures just in case I work abroad and just don’t fancy being stuck on a cold night without one
Get a full size spare wheel, I have a Cup wheel in mine as a spare with a cheap tyre on as a get me home. Wouldn't bother with a spacer saver etc as if you get a front one you would have to swap the rear wheel onto it then stick the spare on the back due to the brakes
The manual also states that a different size wheel cannot be fitted to the front of the car in event of a puncture etc if you have a LSD/diff fitted as it knackers the diff . You need to put a rear onto the front and the smaller wheel on the rear - pain in the arse at the side of the M62 in the dark .............
Had the bad experience today of finding out the space saver doesn’t fit over the brakes. My wife got a puncture and the recovery driver fitted it to the front. She drove a few meters or so which has knackered the caliper. Hoping the diff is ok. How do I check that? What a pain!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pretty sure the spare has a sticker on it showing how& where to fit. I take it the recovery company are footing the bill for the caliper?
I am sure if you have a puncture on the front you have to take a rear off and put on the front and the space saver goes on the rear
