Picking up the car on Friday and a couple of questions.

1. What rating tyres can be used (225/40 18)?

As the top speed quoted is about 139 mph could I get away with V rated or are W or XY

necessary ? What rated tyre would have been fitted from new ?

2. Is it possible to get hold of an 18'' steel spare wheel and would it squeeze into the

spare wheel well ?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The 18" won't fit in the spare wheel well.

If you've got 16" you'll get it in there, but the 18" I believe is too wide and sits proud, intruding into the boot space.
