Spare/winter wheels

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I bought a 2014 Superb to replace an ancient SEAT MPV which was going to be scrapped. I happened to notice that the spare wheels were identical. So I put both spares on to the MPV and kept a pair of alloys to use as winter wheels on the Superb (with the addition of  Skoda badges off E-bay!).

The SEAT alloys were identical to the equivalent Superb wheels in terms of bolt size and pattern, bore, etc with just a very slight difference in offset. There must be a lot of this sort of commonality across the VAG brands so it seems likely that a given wheel and tyre size on one brand would fit other brands.

 

Anyone looking for a full-size spare wheel & tyre - or a pair for winters - might want to get in touch with their local VAG dealers to see what they have picked up under their scrappage schemes. Hopefully they would be amenable to a wheel being swapped for the car's spare, perhaps with a contribution to the staff Christmas fund....

In my case the VW dealer taking the old MPV was totally unconcerned about the car arriving on two spares as it was going to be transported onwards for scrapping.
