Can someone tell me what size (dimensions) the full size spare is please.

The one I bought on Ebay makes the floor slightly uneven when I put the tool kit in the centre.

Max the boot can handle is 205/55/R16

It's not the tyre that makes it stand proud, it's the tool kit.

Unless of course I cut the base of the polystyrene container to level it up.

It is the right way round isnt it?

The face of the wheel should be facing down.

[Evening Star]

I'm certain I have.

Unless I'm going senile & put it in upside down!  

I'll double check in the morning.

I've got to take the car to the dealer to get the Bolero problem sorted anyway!

I've checked the wheel's the right way around, so it's now just the toolkit that makes it sit slightly proud of wheel, so that means that the steel rim must be slightly too big!

Any idea how much a new steel rim is please?

My local stealers have charged me £45.39+VAT (£52.20) for the steel rim. Part number is S1K0601027K03C.

Ordered because I forgot to order the spare wheel when I ordered the car.........

Cheers for that.

Well, it can wait until the new year as I've got one, albeit that it makes the floor between 0.125" & 0.25" proud.

When I get it sorted I'll advertise it.

What size are you trying to fit in the wheel well?

[Evening Star]

A Bridgestone turanza 205/55/16

[gadgetman]

Have you a pic of the wheel and tools in situ?

[Evening Star]

Will try and get some done tomorrow.

205/55 R19 on mine as well. Bridgestone as well.Bi- directional I trust.
